Maybe now is the time to buy an F40 as they seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate

Wow! Two within a week. That UK one took a big tumble. Sad to see. I hope the mechanic had good insurance because it’s not going to be a cheap fix.

I don't know about the UK, but it's your insurance that covers your car here in yank no matter who wrecks it or why.
