 The premeditated thought of selling for pounds £1 million the wreckage of the limousine car in which Princess Diana died had caught the views of the pros and cons. While some remained affirmative on the projected sale, other held otherwise that it could offend the feelings of the Royal family, particularly the deceased Princess Diana’s two sons.
Reminiscing the tragedy that had wedged the world’s grief and commiseration in 1997, the Princess of Wales, Diana died in Paris after the limousine car where she was riding collided with another vehicle and crashed in a tunnel, shortly after it had left the Ritz hotel. The Mercedes Limousine was then at a high speed as being pursued by some photographers. Despite efforts exerted by the physicians to save Princess Diana’s life, the princess of Wales unfortunately gave up her last breath.
Taking advantage of the profitability of the totally wrecked limousine, , French owner Jean Francois Musa supposes that there are several firms that will manifest impulsiveness to purchase the car. Jean Francois Musa, the owner of Etoile Limousines in Paris, rented out the vehicle to Dodi’s father, Mohamed al Fayed, the Harrod and owner of Ritz Hotel in Paris. Dodi Fayed was the rumored boyfriend of the Princess of Wales.
Immediately after the tragedy, the wrecked car was taken out from the scene of the accident at the tunnel and was taken into custody of the authority for any evidence of tampering or faulty mechanical structures. Nevertheless, no further proof was taken from the ruined vehicle after due investigations. The automobile remained in France for almost eight years before it was sought to be shipped to England.
Owner Jean Francois Musa is indeed taking gold from one’s misfortune. Musa is quoted as saying, "It is an exceptional wreck - like the one James Dean died in. We were told it was worth at least £1 million. It belongs to us. At first I was thinking it should have been given to Mohamed al Fayed because his son, Dodi, died in it. Then I thought maybe it should be put in a museum. Now I want to sell it. We have been told a lot of people would pay a fortune for the wreck. We have never had any firm inquiries about it, but people have spoken to me about how much it could be worth."
From the words that Musa himself had said, it can be inferred that he needed to get something back for the proprietary and monetary loss he acquired because of the mishap that killed the Princess of Wales in 1997 and the prolonged retention of his vehicle at the hands of the authority while being investigated. Musa further added, "We should be reimbursed at least for the money we have lost. They kept it and have not given us any money. It was not our fault. This is unfair, it is not justice and for me it does not seem legal. Apparently we did not request the car early enough - but we felt it was right to wait."
Undoubtedly, he had incurred pecuniary loss that he could recover with his other resources; unlike what happened to the Princess, the loss of life could never be well again. It is not enough that people were suggesting for the sale of the car, that some collectors could pay a fortune for the wreckage.
Although Musa owned the crash Limousine, the appreciation of its value is nevertheless originating from the Princess’s name and tragedy. Without the significant event in 1997, nobody would ever pay attention to a futile old wrecked vehicle and much more pay £1 million.
