This is not an easy puzzle, I think...
So: one point for the correct identification of make, model and year; and one point if you can tell me where, when and with whom it crashed so heavely.

A Tornado Typhoon?

Allemano · February 19, 2011, 09:01:29 AM

... or Tempest?

(the shape of the scoop made me think of Tornado Cars)

Iluvatar · February 19, 2011, 09:05:40 AM

I hear about Tornado Tempest and Typhoon here for the first time...
Try again...

Italian?

Is it David Cunningham's Ferrari?

Allemano · February 19, 2011, 03:34:19 PM

...or John Kilborn's?

Anyway it's seems to be a Ferrari 500 Testarossa..

Iluvatar · February 19, 2011, 03:41:20 PM

It's indeed a Ferrari, but neither David Cunningham's nor John Kilborn's...

It's a 250MM by Vignale circa 1953?

Allemano · February 19, 2011, 03:47:22 PM

The hood scoop seems to be from a 500 TR..

Iluvatar · February 19, 2011, 03:52:35 PM

500TR it's correct, give me the year and you'll recieve the first point...

Cause it's a new point the puzzle isn't locked!
I think it's a big help if you find the chassis number...
