Orange Peel's Wrecked Exotics

[Prophet]

I've shamelessly stolen the idea from www.wreckedexotics.com!

I work next to a car repair center who specialise in the more expensive cars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin etc.

So, I thought it may be of some interest to post up pictures from time to time of what they have 'in stock'

Updates as and when something interesting comes in. I just missed an Enzo

Here's todays offerings

(Pics aren't great as I'm haivng to use my point and click)

Whats wrong with that Porsche? looks fine to me (well apart from one or two missing parts)

I think they're used as some sort of demo. I've seen a few other shells which have parts chopped out.

Just though it was interesting

At a guess the coloured/yellow parts are replacements.

 

[Witor]

On that Porsche...why are some bits red/yellow? Are they replacement parts pehaps?

Edit - sloooooow.

 

[antijoke]

That poor Lambo.

Sadly having money to buy such cars doesn't mean you have the talent to match them.

 

[GravyMonster]

Poor SuperLeggera

Out of interest what happens to Cat D super cars?

It's one of my fav's so far. Looks really mean in the flesh just a shame some muppet crashed it!

No idea!

There was a 10 plate Aston Martin being sanded down last week. Looks like somone had paintstrippered it!! That's got to cost thousands to get it anywhere near 'factory' again.

I doubt you get many cat d ones as view are worth so much that only badly damaged ones get written off and these will likely be cat b.

There are been some completely wrecked cars come in and leave like new, well from a distance.

The Lambo has been parked there for over a Month. I'd not be happy with that as it's seen all the weather we've had which can't be good for the exposed bits.

I'd guess the exposed bits are knackered anyway.

He parked his car in Manchester for 5 mins unattended, that's all

That also explains why there's a Porsche shell. Because of the high value of the car it might well be worth replacing the whole shell instead of writing off the car.

Great idea for a thread, keep 'em coming

Looks like lots of driving talent has been found to not exist.

There are no missing parts.
That the race spec version, makes you go so fast you dont even notice you're moving

There should be regular updates. They usually have a 'newly modified' car delivered every day lol.

and costs twice as much

 

[cdcopyman]

coming to a dealer near you, without being cat registered. lol

 

[thepharcyde]

Sorry I do not get the Porsche? What would the shell be used for surely not a complete rebuild???
