Elderly 'Yellow Corsa Man' Has Caved In And Bought A Grey Replacement After His Vandalised Car Was Written Off
We’re genuinely disappointed to bring you this news, but the old man whose yellow Vauxhall Corsa was vandalised for ‘ruining’ a beauty spot has given in and bought a grey replacement.
Earlier in February a campaign of abuse from social media users and fellow residents of the incredibly picturesque Arlington Row culminated in the smashing of the Corsa’s rear windscreen and a side window, as well as the scratching of the word ‘MOVE’ into the bonnet.
People claimed that his car was ruining their Instagram photos of the picturesque village of Bibury, which made us a bit cross. What right does anyone have to complain about this sort of thing?
At the time, it’s owner, 84-year-old Peter Maddox said he would replace his beloved Corsa with something in lime green, claiming to have secured the support of the village around him.
But now news has surfaced that after the car was written off by its insurers, the retired dentist has instead bought a silver-grey Corsa out of fear that the same thing might happen again. His daughter-in-law Marie Kraus said:
“He does like bright colours and he liked his bright yellow car but since he feels he was targeted because it was yellow, he doesn’t want to attract the same sort of attention.
“He feels it’s possible it would happen again.”
Regardless, a Facebook group has been set up to organise a convoy of yellow cars through Bibury with the aim of raising sponsorship that will be donated to a charity of Mr Maddox’s choice. We just can’t help but wish his own brand new yellow car was taking part.

He should get a G63 6x6 wrapped in lime green and with a huge swastika on the side. Then we’ll see how they like their f*cking pictures.
I mean I get the car and the colour but the swastika?
This is actually genuinely sad that some vandals have got their way, and a petrolhead having his love of cars ruined by a bunch of arseholes, it his his house, he can park there if he so chooses
Guess that’s what happens if you try to be diffrent nowdays
How much does a car wrap cost these days anyway?
This pisses me off on soooo many levels
you know i dont support North Korea punishment system, but this time it might help…
it made the picture more beautiful.
shame that there are people whom are tw*tty enough to do this.
An company that manufactures ballistic glass or scratch resistant paint film should take this opportunity to show off their product. Heck, they might as well pay off her car too. (Im looking at you 3M)
This is bull$#!+ that people can commit a crime and get away with it, I’m happy to join the meet even though my Supra is silver but it’s loud enough to make a point.
As car owners we shouldn’t have our cars destroyed by people who don’t like them, we don’t go destroy their houses because we don’t like the curtains.
This shouldn’t be allowed and as car enthusiasts we need to make a stand.
Cmon its so unfair…. the guy was happy with his corsa and just because some selfish people for likes on IG vandalized it… people make me sick sometimes….
