Well it was 4 yrs old , so probably worth £ 2000, about the same as a 4 yr old Panda car !!

According to BBC North West, it was lost because the battery was allowed to run flat, estimated replacement cost £13,000 definitely an " oooooooh s##t " moment.

£14'000 and it doesn't float. Bit of a design floor that.
