This just came in today,  a local lotus dealership had sold it for £20,000+ and had sent the valeter out to fill it with petrol, filled the tank pulled out of fuel station,  20 yards & BANG, said he was trying to avoid something.

taxi for the valeter or what.

considering the damage is mainly in the middle it looks like someone lost control and hit a lampost
