What a pointless waste of a classic car.

I agree, but it doesn’t say when it was done, could have been part of the crash testing for the NEW 2009 car?

Doesn’t really matter, though, it was still a crying shame.

It’s things like this that made me stop watching the infantile Top Gear years ago.

Read the video information, explains the why's and wherefores, the reason for this test being undertaken.

I'm sorry to see that, but rather glad there are such things crumple zones.

It was a classic car against a new car, we know they are less safe but to destroy one like this is unforgivable. It's hardly a test when the outcome is going to be an obvious one.
