A very, very expensive bang. After all, the last one auctioned went for something like $US70 million. (Never quite understood why they are so expensive, after all , there were 36 of them made, whereas there exists only one original gorgeous 330P4 (owned by Lawrence Stroll) and I don't think that it would command anything like that price. Market forces are strange).
Being owned by Stroll may have devalued it!
Hmm, perhaps that would apply if the previous owner had been Adolf Hitler...Being owned by Stroll may have devalued it!
There was one in Ascot a few years ago and he used it to go shopping!
And, famously, Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear.
In the case of cars like that, I think that body/chassis damage is by far more expensive than engine damage, as those panels were all hand-beaten and would need artisanal replacement.
I’d say the mania reached its height in 1987. Yes, I was one of those who stormed the track! An absolutely epic race, and on a proper Silverstone rather than a run down trading estate.
Mine was in between in 1985. Mansell’s first victory.
The cost of rebuilding it no matter what the damage is a lot less than the car’s value. It’s a no brainer.
Lewis claims to have a bad memory......
True, although it could be argued that the facts have only recently come to light. Everybody knew at the time that it was deliberate, but, to the best of my knowledge, nobody had foreknowledge of it (or admitted to having such knowledge).
