Andrew Reynard, owner of the firm, which is based in Parkway Rise, said: “It’s a shame no-one got to see it in its full glory before the crash.”
The Diablo model supercar had just been given a £3,000 makeover at Atom Detailing.
The comedian and presenter, 47, crashed it in the Yorkshire Dales in June but escaped unhurt.

Paddy posted on Instagram following the crash: “It’s been a mad old day on Top Gear today, you might have seen that I had a bit of a shunt.
"I finally got to drive one of my fantasy childhood cars - the Lamborghini Diablo - but it turns out 30-year-old supercars don’t like torrential rain, who’d have thought?
"If you’ve ever owned a Diablo or you’ve driven one you’ll know just as well as me, oh my God, she can be a cruel mistress, she can be a cruel mistress that one.

Opening up about the incident to the Sunday Express, Paddy said it looked “worse than it really was”.
He explained: “Because it’s an old car and it’s so low down it went over the bumps on the grass and it just instantly disintegrated.”
Responding to claims he was visibly shaken, Paddy said he doesn’t know where the rumours came from.
“No. Not in the slightest,” he laughed.
