An "ugly" yellow car blamed for ruining tourists' photographs in a picturesque Cotswold village has been targeted by vandals.
The
word "move" has been scratched into the bonnet of the Vauxhall Corsa,
which is parked outside owner Peter Maddox's cottage in Arlington Row,
Bibury.
Panels on the car have also been scratched and the driver's side window and rear windscreen have been smashed.
Mr Maddox could face a £6,000 repair bill, The Telegraph has reported.
However, the defiant 84-year-old said if the car was too expensive to repair, he would buy a replacement - in lime green.
His
daughter-in-law, Marie Kraus, said: "Peter is understandably upset at
the loss of his car and his independence, but he is also very fond of
his lovely yellow car.
"Everyone in the village is very
supportive. It is horrible to think whoever has done this has come out
of their way down this little road to do something like this. It will be
a struggle to get another car.
"It will leave Peter out of pocket."
