Breaker breaker

What happens to a car once its been pranged beyond repair? Off to the breakers yard it goes, and if its a piece of Italian exotica it may end up at Eurospares.

I'd like to know what proportion of accidents result in a write-off for supercars compared to their not quite so super brethren. The accident can happen at much higher speeds, and with tyre contact patches of the 'garden roller' variety those things grip forever... right up to the part where they don't Ooohhhh shhhiiitt!. They are also often made of super cool materials that make repairs difficult and expensive.

Having secured a six-figure bonus for running a bank into the ground doesn't improve one's driving skills unfortunately, but the good news is that if it was a small accident you might be able to secure some bits for your prancing pony at a significant reduction.

Along with the usual suspect Fezzas and Lambos there are some rarer wrecks - though the presence of this is somewhat worrying...


It suggests that there may be somebody out there restoring a Maserati Kyalami -one of the most cynical pieces of badge engineered Italian shitboxes ever to have it's electric windows pack up and start dissolving as it rolled off the line.
