Poor Rowan - he really loved that car & had had it a long time. Not like he can just buy another.

I wonder if we'll soon see a post: W-wanted; Honda NS. X. M-must be pristiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiine condition...

Hope he recovers OK, anyway.

Can't believe my parents found out about this before me LOL.

He has made me laugh so much he could crash my own cars and I will not mind, the man is a Legend!

Just heard about this. Yes it is the second time and I,m sure Mr Dennis will be happy to rebuild again.

I,ve also just seen on Sky news that he has been released with a minor shoulder injury. Car is said to have spun into a lamp post.

What I think is interesting is that this will surely be rebuilt and it's value not harmed because it will have been back through the Woking body shop and returned as good as new.

It's a shame we can't find a body shop or two that could rebuild bent NSX like they do in Japan. It is designed with replaceable structures front and rear. . . .

Anyway, important thing is that Rowan is ok!

Wishing him a speedy recover

Rgds, Paul

Those F1s are great cars, apart from the handling, the brakes, practicality and the looks.. :)
Wonder what car he will be driving in the mean time.. maybe he'll get another NSX.

Get well soon Mr Atkinson.

One of my all time fave cars. I'm sure Mclaren still provide parts abeit at mind blowing prices and being so rare & valuable,
I would be surprise if the insurers would write them off? Get well Mr Bean.
