Is this the first crashed mini cabriolet ????

Jesus thats awful.

Wonder what happened?

Sad....

Probably hit something whilst admiring reflection of self in shop windows....

Not a nice site. One thing bugs me - why are the wheels that flat? What about the run flats?

15" wheels arent runflats !!!!!!!

I saw a HB MCSC at the Rydale Bodyshop in Birmingham on the 13th. It looked like they'd just finished with it, so probly crashed a week before that. I bet I was the first crashed '54' plate MC

Martin

A friend of mine saw a rear ended Black MOC on the way to Birmingham Airport in July - that may have been one of the first.

well I know its not the first, someone I know had his bump well before anyone else

are we talking about the same someone

I'd like to hope it wasn't the first, because MINI crashed a bunch of them in the testing and development phases to be sure they were safe

With that said, at least it doesn't look too bad, a lot of damage, but nothing unsafe.

And don't forget in a crash, its very easy for the tire to get pushed off the rim, so even runflats with their stiffer sidewalls can still have that happen, appearing similar to that picture.

Ok then not the first one to be in a minor prang but the first to be written off by an insurance company !!!!!

If it was the first or not its

It's only a scratch - Monty Python Holy Grail

A couple of tins of filler and a tin of spray, no worries!

Crunched Cabrio

It hurts to look

wasnt there a post on this already? or i might be mistaken but i think i saw those pictures somewhere before.
but anyway good find!

No... i think i crashed the first Cabrio on July 12th - at a Testdrive but it didn´t looked that Bad
