Your 拢250,000 Ferrari burning into flames 鈥� such a shame... Martin, 43 years old, was at the wheel of the 599 GTB Fiorano when it burst out into flames at the traffic lights. Firefighters quickly were on the scene, dousing the blaze 鈥� but the vehicle was wrecked.
Martin was left to tell this news to Paul Jaconelli, the owner of the supercar garage (in Surrey) Romans International in Banstead.
Paul, who had asked Martin to drive the motor to repairers, said yesterday:
鈥淗e rang me and said, 鈥榊our car鈥檚 just gone up in flames鈥�.
鈥淎t first I hoped he was joking, but I soon realized he was serious.
鈥淚 asked him why it had happened and he said he had no idea.
鈥淢artin鈥檚 worked here since he was 15 and he鈥檚 a great guy. It鈥檚 obviously not his fault 鈥� so I鈥檓 not going to hold it against him.鈥�
This was caught on the camera by some stunned passer-by.
Paul, 58, continued: 鈥淢artin said the car made a noise at the lights, then just went up in smoke. It should be covered under warranty 鈥� but it wasn鈥檛 great news.鈥�
