If that's the eBay car, it explains why it's so cheap...

Yes it does look like the eBay car, which has been sold.

Hope it wasn't the new owner taking it home !

Ebay car isn't sold it's been relisted.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIte...

Does look a similar colour combo to the ebay car though. Difficult to tell from the pic, is it blue or black? interior looks cream though.

Wonder if its been relisted due to the buyer not wanting it after the owner had one last thrash before handing the keys over?

relisted, available in a couple of weeks once its been t cut a little.

Not knowing the area, I'm trying to work out how it ended up like that.

Assuming thats a roundabout in the back ground and presumably low speed, did the driver just over cook it on exit and lose traction?

Whatever, its a sad demise.

Could be something as trivial as a low battery - first time out in a while, cold weather, lights on, etc. The Vanquish defaults to 1st gear as the electrical power dies. Not the most pleasant experience if travelling at speed.

That looks like the driver in the back of the police volvo.

Poor guy, I would be utterly gutted.

Drove past it last night after finishing work, I think he must have gunned it on the exit and just lost the back, about 5m of barrier was taken out though. Impressive smile

Not exactly a demise though is it, more of an embarrassment which will mend. biglaugh
