Nissan must have a range of backup parts ready for the cars, they surely know that someone will crash it.

It was hit in the rear by an Audi in the Isle of Man - caused no end of headaches as it had appearances all booked to attend, so getting it repaired was a pain so i was told at Goodwood.

Opps !!

MartinC · 19th July 2008, 09:05 PM

Allegedly it had a minor off at goodwood as well, but looked as good as new when I saw it on firday in the NMGB area, its just a shame I was not in the 33 at the time!!

hyrev · 22nd July 2008, 10:34 PM

Now the car has accident history and the value of it has gone down the toilet. What a shame.

Would its value have been that great anyway? - its been in the hands of most motoring journos and well 'tried-and-tested'.
