It may be worth whatever it's worth, but it's arguably probably cheaper to repair than most cars if you don't take into account the wages of the experts who will be repairing it.

Terrible to hear, glad to know that they are ok though. Also glad that people really use their cars. A car like this will be fixed up like it was before, and really wont lose any value.

Like Wynn putting his elbow through that Picasso...

It would have been stupid if it was damaged by something falling on it in a garage, or being transported or something. I love that these guys are out driving some of the most desirable and valuable cars in the world.

Max_mx is an unknown quantity at this point
Saw 10 them on the road last Saturday (23 GTO were at Le Mans on Friday), quite amazing! Now I know why I didn't noticed the blue one.
At least the accident happened during what the car was ment to do!
(sorry to ear about the wife though...)

Dont feel bad it will be fixed and it wont be an issue.

These type of cars go back to the factory or a few other places world wide and are rebuilt like new. Bear in mind these are not built like todays cars and there is nothing that can not be fixed short of if the car is not the size of a suitcase. No one cares when they buy them about these type of things these cars have all been raced hard and more then likely crashed multiple times earlier in their lives as that is what they were designed for. Preston Henn crashed his into a Pole at the Rally in France has no impact on the value.
