Not sure whether this is classified as German or not...

Is it a BMW E46?

Or is it a C-class Merc?

It is in fact.. a 1995 Honda civic.

It looks like a lot of work into this, but just begs the question as to why??

How on earththey did this I don't know, but hope they got out OK! Not surprising it's a CAT B...

Looks like a couple of OK doors left to salvage... Haha

Haha! Surely there isn't anything worth taking from it? Just needs to go in the crusher! 

BMW know how to make alloys...they still look perfect lol!!  Take a Vaux over a pot hole and the alloys fall in half. :laugh: 

Seriously though, there will be loads on that worth selling to a breaker!

Drivers side doors look ok...

The indicator stalk is probably in great condition ;)

Driving with bald tyres is an offence - regardless of the situation it has to be investigated :laugh:

Never mind the Nissan that has just ran over the damn thing.

Would like to get one of these, not sure what my insurance would quote me for driving a tank though.

It's the one underneath that was mine.

Was that not all caught on police car dash cam? I remember seeing a video of a similar incident - might have been on police interceptors or something

It happened in Swansea a few years ago and it was on one of the police programmes. the police driver was not injured and, as far as I can remember, all of the doors of the police car still opened.

Yeh I remember the video, it failed to stop then after a bit of a chase he stuck it in reverse and in an attempt to ram it, he ran over it...

I just looked at that ebay listing for that abomination of an BMW-Merc-Honda and the first thing I noticed:  "AS FOR THE ENGINE ITS STOCK 1.5L" 

How ridiculous is THAT!

Have you seen NY traffic?  No point having power there lol, all about show over go!

I'm more confused by the fact he worked on it for 10 years, for some fibre glass and audio!?  Don't think I'd use his services lol.

It's also not showroom condition lol.

And wtf are shaved doors?

As I recall, the thing that saved his bacon, was the fact the bonnet lifted and covered the windscreen, and stopped the car penetrating the windscreen and crushing him...

 

That fall from the car park looked exceptionally graceful
