Jackie Stewart denies car claim

Mar 25 2010

Racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart has denied he was behind the wheel during a supercar test drive crash which left a repair bill of more than £300,000.

The Pagani Zonda S, which can reach speeds of 220mph, was badly damaged when a professional driver took it out near Aberdeen last September, insurers Aviva said.

The former Formula 1 world champion was named as the driver of the car in a newspaper report but Sir Jackie's private secretary Oliver Anderson said the motor racing legend was not involved.
