Good Samaritan Loses His Top

The Jaguar X Type pictured at right was put up for auction as a salvage vehicle this past month. The posting from the auction tells the tale of a good samaritan whose efforts went quite vigorously punished. You gotta feel for the guy. I can only imagine the scene as he jumped up and down, probably held back by the police while his car was being cut in two.

Given ebay's penchant for pulling down listings shortly after they close, I've reproduced it below for posterity.

JAGUAR X TYPE 2.O D - DAMAGED SALVAGE

THIS VEHICLE HAS COME TO US VIA AN INSURANCE COMPANY, IT HAS TRAVELLED 32,000 MILES AND IS ONE NOT VERY HAPPY OWNER FROM NEW.

THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED AS A CAT C AND REGISTRATION DOCUMENT NEEDS TO BE APPLIED FOR.

THIS VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE BRIGADE (MUST TELL THE STORY)

THIS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING ALONG AND IN FRONT OF HIM THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, HE PULLED OVER TO THE HARD SHOULDER TO ASSIST THE INJURED PERSON FROM THEIR CAR AND PLACED THE PERSON ONTO THE BACK SEAT OF HIS FOR COMFORT WHILST EMERGENCY SERVICES ARRIVED.

ONCE AMBULANCE AND FIRE BRIGADE ARRIVED ON SCENE, THE INJURED PARTY SUDDENLY COMPLAINED OF BACK INJURYS, SO THE FIRE BRIGADE KINDLY REMOVED THE ROOF OF THE INNOCENT BYSTANDERS CAR (I BET HE WON'T EVER STOP TO HELP AGAIN).

ANYWAY VEHICLE NOW HAS A REMOVABLE ROOF, SEATS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND ARE IN BITS, BOOT LID HAS BEEN PRICED OPEN AS OWNER HAD PERSONAL BELONGINGS INSIDE.

ALL DOORS ARE PRESENT, BUT SOME HAVE DAMAGE, NO CARE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN REMOVING THEM, DOOR HINGES HAVE BEEN CUT.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS VEHICLE STARTS AND DRIVES, BUT IS NOT DRIVE AWAY.

TOP SECTION OF DASHBOARD HAS SMALL MARKS AND TEARS FROM THE GLASS.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE ROOF HAS BEEN REMOVED BY FIRE BRIGADE SHEERS, AND THEIR IS OBVIOUSLY WIRING THAT NEEDS REAIRING, LOTS OF BITS AND PIECES, PLEASE TRY AND VIEW VEHICLE AS TO BE SURE WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON.
