Ouch.

Article says DB5 valued at £1m ... I know classic prices have been rising of late, but that seems a helluva lot. Hope the kids' alright.

Sounds like no serious injuries.

Would love to know if it was designed to collapse like that. Looks like very little intrusion into the passenger cell, considering the damage.

Oh to be on the other end of the phone when he calls his insurance. :wink:

 

[Bing]

Not a single picture of the Astra. Not even one :lol:

 

[Xiaxio]

is the lamp post ok?

 

[TR4man]

I very much doubt it will be written off as stated in the article. The value and desirability of these cars is such that it will certainly be rebuilt.

Very sad pictures of one of the all time classic cars.

I am sure that this will be rebuilt.

Hope the lad's OK

Whoops, thats going to cost. Looks like the crumple zone did its job.

Not a single picture of the Astra. Not even one :lol:

To avoid hate crime :lol:

Let's not do any analysis but just assume the Astra side swiped the DB5 at the rear, causing it to lose control.

Done the Judge and Jury bit not - just now the punishment for the Astra driver ... :evil:

I passed this car being transported on the M40 yesterday morning. I doubt it will be written off. It did look like it was a beautiful example pre smash.

He's driving an Astra isn't he? Punishment enough surely?

 

[TR4man]

And the number plate on the DB5 will be worth more than most Z4s too!

You're kidding. They were barely designed to go well, nevermind crash well. Totally down to luck. :|
