$30 Million Ferrari 250 GTO Crashes at Remis-Gueux race course

One of our favorite GTO's (well mine at least) had a bit of bad luck recently according to the Business Insider. Amercian Businessman Christopher Cox crashed his legendary blue and yellow Ferrari 250 GTO, during a lap on the legendary Gueux race course this past Friday.

Only 39 250 GTO's were ever made and were all built between 1962 and 1964. Cox's had been reported to be worth more than $30 million.

The racetrack event was part of a five-day tour that featured the likes of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason in his 250 GTO as well.

The accident at Reims-Gueux race track was bad enough that Cox's wife broke her leg on impact. We wish her a fast recovery.

 

Oh no, but at least the owner was driving it like it was meant to. Still though, can't image the thoughts after crashing a 30mill Ferrari.

 

No post crash pics???

 

Read about this last night. Can't imagine how the owner feels. Or his insurance company.

 

Didn't have any nor see online anywhere.

 

Wait, what? FChat gives a totally different story. The accident happened on route to the Le Mans Classic. The GTO was clipped in the rear by a French car trying to overtake the GTO.

 

Hey, his premiums may now be as much as they are for newly passed teenagers lol

 

Oh man. Hopefully its not too bad. Such a cool looking car

 

It might cost 30millions, but then again a car not driven by anyone for 30 years is not worth anything in my opinion. It will be rebuilt with the owners or insurers money but it will be back on the road, because the chassis number is worth like 29.5 millions and the rest you can just special order from a reputable workshop.

Think about about the story in the pub, I crashed a 30 million car today and it was not even my fault, what did you do today?

 

Nice day for the insurance company
