Hammond crash car on ebay

[Mike]

The dragster in which Top Gear's Richard Hammond almost died is up for sale on eBay.



The Sun reports that the advert for the 300mph Vampire dragster describes it as "a little the worse for wear after its much-publicised excursion into the weeds".

By 10am today bids had hit £4,800. Owner Colin Fallows, of Northampton, said: "It's 30ft long and taking up a lot of space."

Echoing the words of Hammond's fellow motoring show presenter Jeremy Clarkson after the smash 16 months ago, he joked: "Over the years it's had one meticulous owner and one c**p driver."
