Can you imagine the state of the paintwork once they've been 'cleaned'? Not to mention potential electrical and mechanical issues if fine sand has been storm blown into engine bays!?

Most owners wont even realise its just us car lovers that will know.

I think to anyone on here it would be very obvious very quickly

I cant believe they would be able to remove all traces of sand

IF the cars were in their protection film and IF the engines not running when the sand was blowing about, it's a 'storm in a tea cup'. Granted it's down to how they've been cleaned, but I could imagine a number of discounted vehicles coming through the system....

Surprised a little sandstorm writes off £11m worth of cars?

Surely at least 7 of these were for @Rukka ?
