Paddy, 47, crashed it in the Yorkshire Dales in June. He was unhurt.

Andrew Reynard, of car specialist Atom Detailing, in Sheffield, said: “It left us on the Monday morning looking great and was in the ditch Tuesday afternoon. When I first heard of the crash I thought they were joking.”

Paddy posted on Instagram following the crash: “It’s been a mad old day on Top Gear today, you might have seen that I had a bit of a shunt.

"I finally got to drive one of my fantasy childhood cars - the Lamborghini Diablo - but it turns out 30-year-old supercars don’t like torrential rain, who’d have thought?
