You want a real answer?

It's for insurance claim. Such old "sportscar" can't even be sold off since no loan can be secured for potential buyer, while people who can afford to dump a big sum to outright buy it, would just choose to buy a newer sports car. Most of such cars are NOT exotics, people aren't exactly lining up to buy these run of the mill cars.

Such "sportscar" also usually have small small issues which all adds up and in turn, it makes the drive unenjoyable, not refined anymore, owner want to let go of the car, but can't, he's sitting on an asset that is now a liability in all sense, both in emotion and physically.

So what's their option? Keep in house and let it rot? Commision it to dealers and park in their lot for years to rot? OR, go to an open, safe, VERY PUBLIC place, and preferably have dashcam footage hours/days before of your planned "accidental-fire", and start your "accident" that way.

I speak from first-hand experience, and have close contact with party who help facilitate this "method" for such owners, they take a fixed cut to help you from preparing the alibi and supporting documentation that the insurance company will ask later on.

Those who know, knows, but we never talk about it in public.

note: that's the reason why you'll never see such "accident" of sportscar happening in some ulu driving route, where the cars are usually pushed to the max, but instead it strangely only happen on open public higher profile highways, city center with public traffic etc. WITNESS, you need that to support your insurance claim also.

i thought last time his lotus masuk news also because his friend drove and bang the car

Lotus got bonded extruded aluminum tub chassis and fiberglass body

major accident already usually cannot repair or too expensive to repair

another ev goes kaboom

last time my turbo convertible accident, insurance also write off instead of repair

I wanted to repair it cause it was pretty rare, but lack of parts so kinda give up after many pushing around and took the payout top up to buy a 86/BRZ

British engineering.

Same engine as Toyota celica but Offcourse improved part

I suspect this car may have done some modification or wiring too old. Source of smoke seem from engine bay so yeah could be fuel leak as well since the tank is at the back near engine


This lotus is old version and I believe it’s the cup version so everything is stripped for better weight ratio

Pass to those people to end its life at a tree

Then claim insurance


But u must remove all emotional attachment tk the car

If Sayang then u won’t have heart for it

insurance claim with guaranteed value

hoses become old and brittle....

Yes. My Beemer once hose crack and leaking diesel, lucky and thank god diesel cannot just combust like that.

what a waste, one of the best handling sports car
