Default Abandoned Jaguar F-Type R Coupe in Dubai

Hope it is not abandoned and is just waiting for a tow truck.



From the article:
Abandoned Jaguar F-Type R Coupe in Dubai, guess they have so much money that a car of this level is disposable.

Pictures and video in the gallery

Judging from the lack of door panel deformity and an intact windshield, it looks like a relatively low-speed impact. Given the bumper and one-piece aluminum hood design, it doesn't take much to cause massive damage to this car.

Just ask our Aussie friend, Andrew, who's car front-end was barely tapped by someone while parked causing $15K in damage.

Yup. And a month in the shop waiting for parts.

I was so happy when my slightly damaged F-type was declared a total loss. Try three months waiting for parts, and a shop that could not/would not check the frame for damage no matter how many times I asked them to! Thankfully it got shipped elsewhere, frame was checked at the second facility and sure enough, it was tweaked. I would not allow your car to be fixed without first having it put on the Celette jigs to verify it is not bent. These cars are very sensitive to impacts.

Abandoning high-end cars in Dubai is a rather common occurrence due to prison sentences for unpaid debt.

I thought they just left them on the side of the road when they ran out of gas...

Are you sure that this isn't a Photoshop job?

I think I might have just found where I am going to be for my next auction...

No need for Barrett-Jackson, when you can have Dubai impounds!

Might be difficult getting those cars federalized for import.
