Still cashing in on Princess Diana

Posted by Ian in in the news, weird shit on September 8th, 2008

Its been 11 years since she was killed in that Paris car crash, but someone has found yet another way to profit from her death.  Turns out the company that owns the car she died in wants it back – so they can sell it.

The car, which cost £70,000 new, could fetch as much as £1 million, according to press reports, and that informal offers to buy the wreck had come from all over the world, mainly the US.

Why would you want to buy a car wreck – just because someone famous died in it?  What is the motive for wanting it – for the memories of Diana?  More likely to put it on show and charge people for the privilege of gawking at it.  Perhaps cut up the back seat, seat belt and carpet and sell swatches of blood stains as souvenirs?
