The limo company that owns the wrecked Mercedes involved in the crash that killed Princess Diana wants to cash in on its history. Owners have put the car up for sale, hoping to get £1 million for it. The car has been in a Metropolitan Police compound in London since July 2005. The manager of the Paris-based Etoile Limousines says they were never given compenstation for the vehicle, and now wants the car back, saying: "It's worth a great deal of money."
Who would buy this?

    maybe the queen should buy it as a trophy.

    Wow. I'm amazed to think anyone could have the audacity to sell the thing, let alone buy it.

    The Limousine company should take it up with their insurers, not stoop to this.

    It is rather tasteless to sell - or buy - this car, but I am not surprised. If a museum started to display it, people would certainly pay a lot of money to have a look at it ...

    Why? Why why why? This is a disgusting thing to put on the market - people died in it for Christ's sake, it doesn't matter who they were. I guess the person who buys it will be either a super rich and sad collector, or a museum. Completely wrong.

    Firstly, I'm very surprised they weren't given compensation for it - surely a big firm like that could sort it out? And selling the wrecked car purely on the basis of who died in it's rather sick. Whoever buys it would have to have a sick sense of morbidity.

    Nothing like appealing to the lowest common denominator.

    It's just another relic for a celebrity-worshiping public. It's historical. Or something.

    Making a profit off of someone's death. That's a real show of poor character.

    Smart chess move.

    It should be given to the Brittish people as part of a memorial - and maybe evidence for forensics.

    It will probably be immersed in formaldehyde, strewn with soiled underwear, encrusted with diamonds and be added to Tate Modern's collection as a Damien Hurst meets Tracey Emmin piece.

    Beggars belief.

    I can just see Al-Fayed buying the wreckage in the hope of finding some incriminating evidence on the death of his son. (can't blame the man for not giving up)

    But other than that - this is completely sick and disrespectful to the The People's Princess, her sons and Dodi's family. The limo company should be shut down.

    The word "vile" comes to mind.

    I can add this to my collection that so far includes Hitler's bicycle, the left wing of the plane that hit the Pentagon (I'm the reason conspiracy theorists can't find it), and the noose that was tied around Saddam's neck.

    James Dean's car was put on show after his death. The car went on to become the centre of a curse theory...

    Disgusting.

    What the heck, why not sell it to the right people. Maybe they can do somthing memorialistic with it. Musa does sound like he cares about nothing but the money. They would just crush it anyways.

    Honestly, I feel a little silly for thinking that people still have morals and respect for the dead.

    BUY NOW! PRINCESS DIANA'S CAR! COMPLETE WITH BLOOD-SPLATTERED SEATS!

    Is money all people care about anymore?

    not surprising. soon they'll be selling pieces of the WTC and Katrina victims' death traps on E-Bay too!

    Gross, just gross...

    Somebody should make it into an Art piece and put it on display at the site she died at.....it would be a great memorial if people want to remember it that bad.
    It would only look like a scene from Wrong Turn if some rich guy bought it to decorate his lawn.

    With the price of scrap metal at an all time high, it is probably better for everyone if this vehicle is recycled, and the money given to a good cause - something Diana might have approved of.

    Where has their common decency dissipated to, is this the abyss their morality can/has risen to?
