Wow, I have never looked on the breakers part of pistonheads but there must be 20+ VX's! how many get crashed in the winter?

An I also noticed this bentley (or whats left of it)Clicky what the hell did that crash into!

Looks like it went into a tree/post on the drivers side and they had to cut off the passenger doors an roof! Nasty..

What i find more shocking these days are the amount of CAT C's and CAT D's that there are about!

Its not hard given the vx is 'worth' 50p as far as the insurance folks are concerned, and that NEW parts cost more than the VX sold for originally

This Fezza looks worth a punt, bodywork might benefit from a good t-cut though http://www.pistonhea...G&model=FERRARI

Hi all, I've visited Douglas valley a few times for various parts and it has a certain strange fascination, a morbid feeling hits you when you walk amongst the exotic wrecks armed with a crow bar. There are some really amazing sights like not one but two burnt out F40's which were being picked up and were sold for Euro 25,000 each!!!! hmmm in ten years or so I wonder if they will appear as mint cars with no service history Lots of TVR's and splintered glass fibre everywhere, plus VX's and Elise/Exige, there main business is parts so any engine boxes and anything else are stripped quickly. They dont hold open days and its not easy to get in, but I did manage two visits and got quite a bit of stuff at a fair price. Cheers Ian

And who says VX's have a reputation for being written off?

Oh my god! this one wins hands down for the most destroyed car!
why even advertise this? I cant see any parts that one would want from that. And what must have happened to your ferarri if you need to replace parts with some off that wreckage.
