A sad sight indeed.

It's sad that there was this crash, but it could also be destroyed while being parked on the side of street, or even in garage. So what has to be done with expensive car - should it be buried in a concrete box, forgetting that it could be driven?

Fully understand the need to drive classics msh...
But to take a £1m car out during weekday peak traffic, Why not wait until the evening or weekend? Yes an accident can happen anytime anywhere, but at least the risks are reduced somewhat when driving on quieter roads with less traffic.

I guess that someone who can afford THAT sort of Classic , with a number plate worth more than ALL of my cars put together, will just buy another when he finds a suitable replacement, . OR get it repaired to the highest possible standard.

Things that most of us can only dream of....

Main thing is that all inolved in the crash are in a good state of recovery....some things money just can't buy.

Agree with you Frank but would love to know who's fault it was.But one things for sure the 2 adults driving should know better, whoever's fault it was, but the poor 4 year old boy who had sustained injuries is the one i most feel sorry for as he was in the care of the adult and had no choice.Was the little boy even strapped into a child seat?
