$ 1,100,000 are gone - and a lot of memories. Rock star Neil Young (65, "Heart of Gold") in front of the ruins of his career. A fire consumed his bed with vintage cars and expensive instruments. Now might be the cause: an inflamed hybrid car.
The car, a Lincoln Continental (Year 1959), is car enthusiasts as "LincVolt known. Young had the luxury convertible converted to hybrid car that runs on battery power and a biodiesel generator. The reconstruction shows the site lincvolt.com.
Young: The car was connected to load to the power, then remained unattended" An insufficient supply of the charging system tested had ignited the car.
The fire spread to the camp. About 300 square meters of the house in San Carlos (near San Francisco) could not save the fire department. No one was injured.
The LincVolt was now in the workshop, the rebuilt classic car for hybrids. There he is to be made fit again.
