  • £ 910,000 repair bill........

    Anyone guess (or know) who this news report is about?

    A link to the article, and his image is at the bottom of this post.....


    xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx infamous supercar smash proved expensive - it cost him a whopping £910,000 to have his luxury motor fixed.

    The star fractured his shoulder blade in the crash in Cambridgeshire - and his McLaren F1 motor was almost a write-off.

    The vehicle spun off the road, hit a tree and a road sign before catching fire.

    xxxxxx went to hospital but his car was clearly on his mind as he set about consulting experts to have the supercar repaired.

    One model was recently sold for £3.5m, so it's unsurprising he wanted it fixed - but the repair bill proved eye-watering.

    It is three times higher than the most expensive repair claim ever recorded in Britain, but the xxxxx is just happy to be back in the driving seat, despite his new £60,000 insurance premium!

    He told Classic & Sports Car magazine getting behind the wheel again was like "putting a familiar sweater on".

    xxxxxx added: "I'm not a collector. I don't like the toy cupboard syndrome that causes so many good cars to evaporate.

            Here is the REG number (link below) can anyone check to see if it's on the register, CAT D or whatever? Surely there is a marker against it?

                    I'd have it in a heartbeat..
                    It'll be as good as new - expect Mclaren have effectivley built up a new car for him!

                        I should not be on the list as it has been repaired.

                          I heard from a reliable source BMW had to re-cast a cylinder block for that car.
