Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 23, 2014 Anyone remember that mad astra a company built? and it caught fire and ended up being an insurance job as they had a ridiculous estimate of its value? Some sort of coachworks company iirc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annavr6 10 Posted April 24, 2014 Hi All The fire was started by our T25, it had been running and used recently and our mechanic chap was moving to our workshop a short drive away, it started, ut out and went bang sending a fireball through it, himself adn warehouse staff tried to tackle it with fire extinguishers but it went up so fast it was impossible It took out Ben here's early bay whihc was next to it, our crafter work/show van, never seen something so destroyed, our company mercedes, Bens new beelte, he lost 2 cars, he is currently on holiday,the peugeot was Daves here a staff vehicle we think its repairable, and the green beetle got away failry unscathed a melted rear light and a fair bit of paint damage blistering onteh rear quarter, the wind was going the other way so it didnt really take the beetle and pallets in the yard, It was scary for all of us here, scary how fast it spread and that nothing could be done, many of our vehicles including my own T5 were inthe car park so we all feared for them Its complete accident, we dont know why teh T25 went bang, it had been used recently adn we had used it to take off parts and have them replicated and re made. Mostly we are all feeling for Ben who lost his early bay and his daily new beetle, he is due to go travelling in July in teh bus around euope, Oh and the X reg beetle is a mexican chassis, it was built out of parts from our warehouse at volksworld show by some of the staff here about 6 years ago. you can see mroe pics here http://www.vwheritage.com/blog/2014/04/23/vw-heritage-fire/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
