🙈 somebody's having a bad day

Post by GeorgeA »

Could this be the most expensive car crash in the UK?

I won't want to making that phone call.

Just a thought as it's just come up on BBC News feed - I wonder if the super cars were on their way to Salon Prive at Blenheim ?

This reminds me of a similar accident that happened in November 2006 when a transporter carrying Volkswagen South Africa's heritage fleet overturned between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Nine of the fleet were completely wrecked including the final South African built Beetle.

Very sad to see. More photos and information can be found on the Air Cooled Culture Facebook page here. There are also more photos and discussion on The Samba forum here

I read that the final Beetle has been re-bodied and is back on display at the VW Auto Pavilion museum.
