Rowan Atkinson, AKA the infamous Mr. Bean is a very well known actor, also one of the most known exotic “car-wrecker” too! He has wreaked a list of exotic vehicles including Aston Martin and a McLaren F1 TWICE! Thankfully he has not been seriously injured so he can continue making funny movies and crashing cars….
The McLaren is one of the most prized vehicles, selling for over 1 million dollars. There were only 106 McLaren’s ever produced, and several have been destroyed…maybe these vehicles are likely to crash due to the highest top speed of 231MPH…or because Mr. Bean was driving them…
The first incident was in 1999 in Lancashire, where he had rear-ended a Rover Metro, damage is pictured below…
Again in England, a short two years later, in 2011 the beautiful McLaren was again wreaked and this time unsalvageable. Mr. Bean had lost control, spun the vehicle several times, crashed into a tree then a pole before bursting into flames and totaled. I have found several pictures on this incident, which are featured below.
With a love of fast exotic and expensive cars, it is inevitable that car accidents will happen, but it is a known “rumor,” or not, that exotic car producers will not sell to “repeat car-crashers,” for any amount of money. It is considered a destruction of art and respect for the manufacture.
