Here is one expensive crash

We actually applaud people who buy expensive vehicles and still drive them. Yes, some vehicles are best suited for a life in a museum or garage but that doesn’t mean they should never be taken out and driven once in long a while. Venture capitalist businessman Adrian Beecroft took that theory to the extreme and paid the price when his rare Aston Martin DBR1 crashed during a classic car race. The classic car is a priceless piece of Aston Martin racing history and Beecroft paid a huge sum for it.

The Aston Martin DBR1 is worth around $30,000,000, making this likely one of the most expensive car accidents (in terms of automotive damage) in history. The Aston Martin was joined in the accident by a Jaguar XK 120 and Austin Healey 100. The Jaguar has a value of around $151,000 and the Austin is thought to be worth as much as $91,000. Luckily no one was injured and we commend everyone who participated in the race for being brave enough to throw their pricey classics around the track.
