Lamborghini Huracan crashes during Targa South Island

They were within sight of the finish line of the fifth of six of the day’s stages, but Quinn lost control of the Lamborghini and crashed.

Once the true extent of the hidden damage was discovered, the work would normally have been handed over to a professional fabricator. However, with the assistance of experts such as MG specialist restorer, Paul Walbran, Kerry has completed an impressive restoration and saved this car from the scrapheap.
