^ read that article last week. Amazing stuff.

 

256000 miles
Now that's how a supercar should be used!

 

This was an incredible read, thanks guys!

Goes to show they can last just as long as any other car on the road!

 

 

I believe that Simon's Murcielago has been involved in an accident following a very expensive overhaul! Anyone shine any further light on this?

 

To quote from the Pistonheads thread

It is a shame but it will get fixed. It's in Chartwells, Derby currently having the chassis straightened which should pull the roof straight. Amazing place that, like a huge hospital operating theatre full of exotica being fixed, everyone in white overalls.
It was a customer driving with an instructor but he wasnt even being silly, it was just a combination of circumstances like a greasy track, a horrid damp day and a sh*t load of bad luck.
The insurance is an irrelevance since any claim would have premiums and excess' going through the roof - just no point even considering it. Fortunately we've a bodyshop with ovens etc so the biggest cost will be parts.
Quite tempted to buy the aftermarket bits to make it look like an LP670SV but then again it would'nt be original. Should be done in a couple of months whatever

 

Thanks for that, hope he gets it back on the road. Always had a soft spot for Simon's old Murcielago, I got to drive it several years ago for my 40th birthday pressie from the wife.

 

the factory zonda has over 1 million kms on the clock

Yea but that's a factory test car, that was rebuilt to factory specs a million times. the Murci here is privately owned.

 

Thats a black one guy uses it as a DD, there was an article somewhere can not find it... you know it?
