It is worth mentioning that the 4 year old was lucky enough to be a passenger in his father's DB5. The damage was caused by impacting a Vauxhall Astra!

Oh dear Lord!!!! My heart is broken, what happened, where and when?

Btw. look how well the car is built for a sixties automobile, despite the fact that the wheel fall off probably the passenger compartment is still intact, if you would crash an american Cadillac from the 60' like that the engine would probably kill you. That's probably because the DB5's engine is not a big large V8. On the other note it seems it was not a high speed accident so... I don't know.

That will buff out, a bit of T-cut will make it as good as new.

A 4 year old boy was hurt in this accident, was in the Manchester Post I think

Well, that news just killed all the jokes.
Hope the kid, isn't too badly hurt and makes a full recovery. -{

I've often seen that car driving through Manchester - usually through Deansgate....I hope the child is ok...

The four year old will be ok, his father (the driver) also but.. Straight from the article:

"The mangled Aston was a complete write off, according to police."

One DB5 less in that case, rest in peace.

Good news that the child and his father will recover.

Here's some video of the car being put on a flatbed.

That cars repairable it's a £300,000 bill I would estimate but it will be back on the road, the police don't have a clue and will just assume it's a £20,000 car.



This car was sold and will be in the process of being rebuilt.

Makes sense since Aston Martin has every part available as they're making them per request. That's how the Skyfall DB5 was brought to life.

Since we're not telling quips, I cannot mention how I feel about getting an Aston for half off.

And there's no sense in going off half-joked. Glad the parties weren't injured.

An Aston Martin DBS what seems to be a Quantum Silver version (it sometimes looks almost black) was totalled today in Poland... Not screen accurate wheels though.
