Aviva pays out record £300,000 repair claim

Aviva has confirmed that following a crash in September last year, it has paid £300,000 to repair a Pagani Zonda S.

The £500,000 super car was crashed near Aberdeen by a test driver, not the owner of the vehicle, who was insured by Aviva.

A spokesperson for Aviva commented: "This is the biggest insurance payout we have had for repairs to a private car in the UK."

He continued: "Although the vehicle was badly damaged, Aviva decided that the car may be repairable and set about making arrangements for the car to be shipped across to Modena, Italy, home of Pagani, the vehicle manufacturer."
