It'll be back on the road.

Even if it required £200,000 worth of work, that's probably about a third or a quarter of it's value. Insurers would rather pay out £200k than £600k/£800k!

However, the only exception is that the chassis/tub cannot be repaired safely I guess?

Theoretically, changing the tub might even be possible - if hideously expensive.

It'd be interesting to watch.

It can happen to anyone.
I have footage of me overtaking him at Spa....




Although he was in a classic Jag, and probably on a cooldown lap

Seems to have a lot of track experience, so i'd guess he gets good use out of his cars

The guy who services our E-Type owns Rowan's old racing tuning Renault 5 Turbo. Great looking car and mighty fast apparently...
