I hear this is 'this car'..

that crash is heart breaking! But what does does it have to do with the ph ad?

 

Ehhhh because it could be the car that's in the video.

 

Ouch, probably one of the hardest cars to crash as we'll giving it's handling capabilities!

 

Oh I see. well 92 were registered in the uk, now 70 left. How many were black?

 

it is being sold as "all clear hpi" bit of a piss take given its history, some poor sod will buy a write off (it was never put through an insurance claim) i dont doubt its been repaired to a good standard but i wouldnt want it at that price.

 

It's not fair Martin, I'd be well upset if I bought it and then saw that

 

if there were only ever 43 deep black r26r's, how do you know it's the one in the vid being knocked off on ph?

 

I'm sure Fast Dave will know his old reg plate

 

Also that car was on Autotrader a few month ago for 17k .. Looks like some poor bugger bought it and has now found its history

Been dropping £500 a week on the current PH add

 

I hope some one can confirm if it is or isn't the one and report the advert. Making my stomach turn how some one could be that unscrupulous!!!

 

If the car is numbered I'm the add should be easy to confirm if that was fast Daves

 

its deffo the same car

 

Loads of second hand cars have some sort of 'history' though. It's great that we have these forums to highlight issues like this.

 

Not doing anything wrong tho are they ... It is hpi clear because your not insured at the ring , no damage has been recorded

Just u lucky it was caught on video

 

Is that a fake carbon wrapped bonnet? If they cut corners there were else were corners cut??

 

What I mean is the safety of the car and its value to whom could buy it unknowingly. Who knows if it's been VOSA inspected or not doubt it, easily a cat C.
Although if it was going cheaper, the buyer is aware its been repaired and had been inspected etc yeah nothing wrong with that.

"Numbered plaque 059 of 159"

 

I remember the plate

 

Perhaps one of the mods can change the title to include the reg plate incase they google it.

 

Definitely put the registration number in the title and get it shared to a few forums if it is being sold incorrectly (I don't know the story so won't comment on that).

Google VO54 FFZ. Proof that it works - I did that nearly two years ago and pretty sure if anyone looks for history when buying it they will still be put off!

 

My mate took this just after it happened

 

That's not that bad ... If you claimed on your insurance that would get fixed and not written off

 

It's no long on pistonheads

 

Is that good or bad tho.......

Removed or bought is the question.

 

Normally sold cars (if they tick that box) stay on their website for a few days after, but who knows

 

Still for sale on Auto Trader ?

 

Its still around
