Rowan Atkinson: Insurers fork out £910k to fix comedian's McLaren supercar - Mirror Online

A quote from the link which made me smile!

He lost control of the F1 and hit a tree, leaving the car's 6.1-litre engine 20-yards away from the rest of the vehicle.

Did he not nearly right this car off about 10 years ago?

Quote from article:

"The Mr Bean star, 58, suffered a shoulder injury in 2011 when he crashed his beloved car for the second time."

I remember seeing that car sitting in queuing traffic on the day of the accident, on the A414 near St Albans, Herts, I didn't realise it was him until I read about the accident the next day! I figured he must have been frustrated & running late, before deciding to floor it. But £0.91 million is a lot of money for a car repair, even if it is a McLaren.

Wonder what kind of courtesy car he got ?

Bet it wasn't a micra.

McLaren F1's never get written off! £3.5m the last MINT one sold for!!

 

[Artimus]

yea, I suppose! Maybe that's because if the Insurance Co refuse, the owner can usually afford to pay for it themselves... I mean you wouldn't buy it with your last million would ya. lol

 

[fishyfish]

Yeah I remember when he crashed it only a couple of years ago... seriously, i reckon he should stick to his mini at this point
