    Thank you, I have spoken to a few people regarding repairs to a proper standard.

    It just isn't viable to pay to fix it, there is too much damage requiring expensive parts and a lot of labour.

    One well respected repairer that is used by my fellow members of JDC Area 18 has viewed the photographs and said that he would not even take on the work.  

     

     

    I am sorry to hear that. If that happened to one of my cars I would be heartbroken.

    Thank you Julie, my wife Sue is still experiencing some discomfort / pain but it could have been much worse.

    We have been a couple since we were sixteen, so I was around when she had the spinal surgery.

    I can still remember the specialist telling her that she would never be able to participate in any active sports or pastimes, as one jolt or impact in the wrong place could leave her paralysed.

     

    With regards to the car, I think if I were to buy it back, the repair costs could be horrendous due to the nature of the damage.

    I have spoken to the insurers today and they are now passing the valuation over to an independent company.

    Will have to see how it goes !

     

     

    I wish a speedy recovery to Sue. 

    Good luck, I hope you can get a reasonable buy back price, shop around for repair quote.

    I was told by one garage to scrap an old S type I had, but another did the job for a very reasonable price.

    Kind Regards,

    Julie.

    Hello Jon,

    I do hope your wife is alright, how awful.

    I have not dealt with a claim for many years, luckily, but have heard similar stories about 

    Insurance companies being too quick to write off cars without even examining them.

    Some people I know have bought the car off the insurance or where able to keep it and get it repaired themselves.

    I am so sorry that this has happened to you, what an awful shock for you both to be involved in an accident. 

    I can imagine how upsetting this is for you after spending time finding the right car to have this happen.

    I do hope you can get this sorted.

    Kind Regards,

    Julie.

    Hi Jon,

    I always have my cars serviced by a local independent as he does a good job and is cheaper than main dealer. But if you want to sell the car in future a main dealer service stamp does look better. Its what you prefer really. 

    Check your paper work with the car to see if water pump etc changed by previous owner possibly any invoice or receipts?
