Fender bender: Chris Evans was stunned when he saw the damage on his £300,000 Ferrari, which Vanessa Feltz had crashed into earlier in the day
He's a proud collector of Ferraris, and has a fleet of the luxury cars to choose from when he heads out for the day.
But Chris Evans may have been left regretting his decision to take his £300,000 Ferrari 599 GTO for a spin this morning, after a fender bender which left the vehicle scratched and damaged.
However, rather than a unaware member of the public causing the damage, the guilty party was actually fellow radio DJ Vanessa Feltz, who accidentally backed her white mini into the Ferrari twice as she pulled out of a tight spot in the car park after finishing her Radio 2 show.
Accident: Evans' silver and yellow 599 GTO is a very rare supercar
Evans, 44, tried to hide his shock as he clapped eyes on the silver and yellow super-car, which had huge scratchmarks on the front bumper.
Apparently, Feltz remained completely unaware about what she had done, and headed home after the minor crash.
Evans is such a fan of the Italian supercars that he has a vast collection of the vehicles.
In the summer last year, Evans splashed out on a £12million Ferrari 250 GT to celebrate the success of his show on Radio 2.
The father-of-one posted a photograph of the red car on his Twitter page after he found out his breakfast show had pulled in more listeners than previous host Sir Terry Wogan.
He took delivery of the Ferrari 250 GTO and then posted a picture of the sought-after 1960s classic, tweeting the caption 'The new one has arrived.'
The car, described as the 'Leonardo da Vinci of motoring', would have cost £6,000 when it was new in 1963. Only 36 were ever made.
Evans had a busy morning after interviewing Elton John on his radio show.

But the Rocket Man singer was left red-faced after accidentally saying the f-word live on air, and apologised later for saying 'that naughty word'.
Later, Evans wrote on his official blog: 'Wonderful to chat to Elton John this morning. A bundle of fun and a ton of talent. Always happy to talk about anything. He is both a superstar and a fan - the perfect combination. He loves what he does and loves the other people that do it too.
'You gotta have your projects! They keep you going. Elton John is the personification of that philosophy. I have a treasure chest of respect for him. He has been to the dark side and back, and lived to sing the tale.'
