Do the photos still exist of the Fiat Coupe that when off at a Motorway exit when they suffered a wheel bearing failure?

For some reason i have it in my head that it was Theresa or Vickster?

Just want to show a friend who is happily driving along with a dodgy wheel bearing.

I remember this entry as well, always wondered about reason for failure. The pictures certainly dont give the impression that the race was cooked.

And then, literally yesterday, I came across this on the DVLA recall database Tipo/Dedra Outer Race failures

Could the cause have originated under a similar defect to the Tipo recall, its possible that the duff batch of bearings made it out into the service market ?.
