Was browsing the pickles auctions salvage list and came across this...

https://www.pickles.com.au/damaged-salvage/item/-/details/CP-02-15--Alfa-Romeo--4C--Coupe/252520286

How does one even manage to do such damage to a car!?!?!? Its actually split into two pieces  :o

Wrong oil does it, apparently, if forums are to be believed.

For $540 it would make a fantastic conversation starter in my lounge room.

A couple of tubes of airfix glue and a can of humbrol paint and it should be back together and as good as new....
Speed costs money - how fast do you want to go?

With a bit of imagination the buyer could build a "stretch" version.

If I had the room I'd actually grab it, the auction places is 10 mins down the road. Surely the headlights and seats would be worth a couple thousand.

But I think bringing it home would make the neighbours not overly happy hahaha.

That's a good way to use it.  :)

I'd have thought its value as a front end donor for medium collision, might make it quite valuable.
