i am slightly unsure whether i should be posting this, the new owner said he was going to post it but has not as of yet, as its my old pride and joy i felt i kind of had a right too.

as some of you may know i recently sold SDV my old valver to purchase a phase 1 172, now over the years i have put lots of time and effort into keeping it as mint as possible, mechanically and visually, no money spared. Car of the year 2006 also.

when i sold the car for some reason i was not really gutted, think i was excited about what i was purchasing really, and because of the turnaround time i didn't have time to miss it, i also knew the buyer and felt it was in good hands.

below are some pictures of the last time i saw it

this was around 2 weeks ago, since then earlier this week i spoke to the owner to find this out....

the accident (i have been told by the new owner) was not his fault, which i believe and for reasons that could possibly be legal i am not going to disclose, i have also hidden his face for this reason,

he told me his head smashed the sunroof but he thinks the bucket seats saved his life

he had a broken nose, fractured rib and lasserations to the head, very lucky chap, shame about the car and his luck with that.

this thread may be removed if the new owner wishes

Dont let Wazza see this either, he will be as gutted as he spent the majority of the time and money on this car making it mint.

Such a shame.

Thats sad to see :(, never something you want to have happen to your ex pride and joy.
The main thing is the driver is ok.
Its only metal at the end of the day.
