It doesn’t leave a multi-million dent in the owner’s budget and doesn’t bring car enthusiasts to (man) tears, even if they had never seen it in person. Still, a wrecked Lotus is a sad sight because they are gorgeous, iconic cars in their own right. And this was exactly the scene on Spaniards Road in Hampstead, North London, earlier this week, after a driver of an older-model Lotus Elise seemingly crashed into a brick wall. Few details about the crash have been made public, but the Daily Mail notes that the crash happened more or less outside the house of singer Harry Styles. The tab also makes a great deal out of that, though it shouldn’t – unless Styles himself came out to check out the wreck and felt the sting of those man tears, since he’s a car enthusiast himself.
