Red-faced driver facing huge insurance bill after reversing VW over a £210,000 Aston Martin supercar
Thankfully nobody was injured
THE red-faced driver of a nine-year-old VW is facing a huge insurance bill - after reversing his car over a £210,000 Aston Martin supercar.
The bungling driver of the grey 2015 VW Tiguan, which is worth around £10,000 today, lost control of their car, landing on top of the Aston Martin DBS parked outside a dealership in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Shocked staff at the dealership, which is popular with Premier League stars, came rushing out to see what happened on Tuesday morning.
The two-door 2023 coupe, which is up for sale for £209,900, boasts a V12 engine, metallic blue paint job, body styling kit and has just 542 miles on the clock.
The impressive Aston can also hit 60mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 211mph.
But the luxury motor might now need a bit of a facelift, with damages likely to run into the tens of thousands.

One onlooker who saw the scene told The Sun: "It's not clear exactly what happened but the driver of the VW somehow lost control, mounted the pavement and a small wall and the car's back end landed right on the bumper of the Aston Martin.
"It was a classic case of 'you can't park there mate'.
"There was shards of glass and metal and the floor so it must have done quite a bit of damage.
"The driver will have been pretty embarrassed because dealership staff came running out to see what happened and people on the street started gawking and taking photos.
