IT'S enough to make a grown man weep - a $200,000 Lamborghini is off to the wrecking yard after a test run ended in a crash.

The expectant owner was left devastated after the luxury car, due to be delivered yesterday, was written off.

A mechanic was driving the car after giving it a check over when a woman performed a U-turn on Arden St North Melbourne and crashed into it.

Lorbek Luxury Cars had sold the car and owner Srecko Lorbek said the incident was a "classic accident" that left him shattered.

"We are very upset and the owner is devastated," Mr Lorbek said.

"Perfect cars like this one are hard to find and we went to a lot of trouble to find it. This one was a particularly special one."

Mr Lorbek said his dealership would not resell the car.

The 2004 yellow Lamborghini Gallardo had one owner, only travelled 18,453km and was a six-speed manual coupe that retailed for $200,000.

Victoria Police spokesman Marty Beveridge said two tow trucks were called to the scene about 5pm on Wednesday after a two car collision prang.

He said the MFB also attended after there was fuel on the road from one of the vehicles.

The female driver of the 4WD was insured. She was left shaken after the accident.

Police said there were no injuries.
