That's one thing i don't ike about insurance companies. They have the option of the car that you own lives or dies.
I know once you've been paid out the car belongs to them & sometimes you have the option to buy it back.
My mate has a 1983 Rover SDTurbo that he's had since he was sixteen & he's now 38. It got written off in an accident with a Meastro that pulled out of a juction. He was heart broken, but he bought it back, had it all jigged out & she still lives Thumbs Up!

LZ's went in for a new wing and rear bumper that got written off..... think even small punts will write most Omegas off now.

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Indeed Tunnie Cry Cry Cry Cry

However my case involved a rear wing which I understand is harder to replace and costs more.  I hope anyway that this case is different Wink Wink.

Too many of our prized miggies are departing!!! Cry Cry

Mine was written off for a wing, bumper & bonnet.

I just wanted it checking to see if it was worth repairing.

Cost me £450 to get repaired.

And it is still Cat C Angry Angry Angry Angry
