Tom Waes’ Wrecked Porsche Set To Fetch High Price at Auction
Turning heads and igniting memories, Tom Waes’ iconic crashed Porsche 911 is set to roll onto the auction block in Hasselt, Belgium. This isn’t just any classic car – it’s a vehicle steeped in story, boasting a compelling past that includes a dramatic incident involving the renowned Belgian television personality.
Auctioneer Peter Reekmans, handling the sale, reports a surge in interest, with calls pouring in from avid collectors and even a Porsche specialist who already placed a €30,000 offer. Reekmans, however, believes the final price tag will be significantly higher, potentially many times the starting amount of €15,000, with bidding officially opening on February 16th.
The 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 holds a unique place in automotive history, not just because of its vintage charm but also because of the dramatic tale it carries. Waes famously found himself behind the wheel during a crash, highlighting a stark reality of vintage vehicles – the absence of modern safety features like airbags. Thankfully, Waes emerged unscathed from the incident, a testament to his luck and the inherent strength of the classic vehicle.
For fans and collectors, this auction presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive and television history.
