Oh dear, another big insurance claim

What a clot, 26 year old driver let loose in one of the worlds most evocative cars and he does this it. These things were on a tubular space frame chassis, that is going to take one heck of a restoration to sort out.

It's good to see old cars actually being driven, but it helps if the driver understands that 50-year-old cars don't grip and handle like modern sports cars. Or even modern family hacks, come to that.

On the positive side. I'm sure someone is after a rear bumper for one of these, and will pay anything for it.

What a dick. If it was my car and the techy did that he would definitely be on first name terms with the local hospital nurses by the time I'd done with him!

As stated, another example of a young prick not respecting what he's driving. Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35
