Default Artist... my ****!

Some "artist" who can probably not draw or paint using a different method to get attention..... what a waste of a 997!

I wonder if it was subject to some confiscation and disposal order? The owners of the scrappy recording it just for fun

There's never any good reason to actually destroy an item of that value, though - it could always be auctioned off and the proceeds used to reduce the nation's overall tax burden for that year. Even if it were a cut-n-shut there would be value in the parts, crushing it whole is such a waste

Agree with the pre production prototype.

By law they have to be crushed within a certain time limit, i have myself seen a Vanquish crushed and several Jaguars, it is a crying shame to see them get destroyed.

Why cant they sell even the wheels off them or the interior, its stupid.
