Do you Think Rowan Atkinson's Insurance will go up

[rich83]

Hats off to Rowan though for using a car rather than leaving it parked up. 

And obviously using it 'properly' too 

[camfollower]

Didn't he bin this same motor years back!?

Yeah think he rear ended someone

[sub39h]

i'm just surprised he's worth that much money. aside from the god-awful Jonny English movies he's done recently he's not really been up to much has he? don't get me wrong i loved Blackadder and thing it's hilarious, but back then i didn't think you were paid obscene amounts of money for TV shows, even ones as successful as Bean and Blackadder

[Real Thing]

I was thinking this as its the 2nd prang he's had in it, the HPI check would make interesting reading.

Saying that its been repaired by Maclaren themselves, I think the article said its been there for 16months, so it's probably been completely rebuilt, especially if you think the car originally cost ~£600k and the claim was for £910k

I wonder what loan Car they give him whilst being repaired

Will that now be a Cat D write off.... and not worth 3.5mil anymore?

Nope, it has been repaired by the insurance company not written off by them

The bean movies did well and I think bean is exported to a lot of countries.

[CAPTAIN BRITAIN]

I think he has his own production company, or a share in one, i think it called Tiger aspect, I may be wrong,

Now that the car is to be rebuilt, perhaps he could choose a different colour for the respay, anything but that hideous shade of red that it's got at the moment.

[Hedge]

It's done and finished. He drove it Yesterday. 

[mad_pete]

Rowan Atkinson has made around £4.5 million from the sale from Tiger Aspect, the independent production house, best known for Mr Bean, The Vicar of Dibley and The Catherine Tate Show, of which he is a director.

and there you have it

It's not the only F1 to have been damaged and repaired (see "flemke" on Pistonheads) but I doubt that the repair will have any bearing on the future value.

Realistically, its not even a "repair" as such, more like a re-manufacture by the original dudes who built it in the first place. 

 

[Bow]

Says in the sun he is worth £70+ million

[gobbleplease]

60k renewal ! Should of protected his no claims bonus for 20 quid a year like me !

Well at least he's had a new front and rear end now!!
