Andy 1 remember seeing the car at one of your meets in Barton - was in stunning condition - what a shame -was sorely tempted.

Hope all involved are OK - it it on the Isle of Man ?

That’s not good.
Hope all involved are ok.
By the looks of it, others have faired worse than the 75.

It is indeed, he also brings it over for meets etc. Saw this on Facecloth, everyone ok, but the car's a little bruised

Cool

At least the car protected the driver and passengers, if any. Sorry sight to see though.

Oh dear.

I hope Max is OK.

Looks like it happened on the I O M as the other car also has I O M plates.

The present owner has really looked after this Tourer, I hope it will soon be returned to its superb Duotone condition.

I hope Max doesn't mind but, copied from his post....
What a difference a week makes for Duotone, from a lovely run out to total disaster, Hit by a car pulling out onto the main Mountain Road yesterday tea time after 3 days of spring cleaning. Two very broken cars and very sore ribs

A very sorry sight - that tourer is one of my favourite club cars. As others have said though, the main thing is that everyone is ok.

Hopefully it can be repaired back to it's original condition - it's way too nice for the scrap man.
