Have you seen the Damaged Red S that's been listed on eBay today?
Such a shame, lovely looking car apart from the damage. Need to know more about the damage as not easy to work out.
Unable to add a link from the device I am on at the moment.
Does it belong to anyone on here?

Appears to have reached the reserve price.
I wonder what happens with the insurance, surely it was insured before the accident, so would there have been a payout on it? I never know what happens in this situation, I am aware you can buy back off the insurance companies if written off. Getting it insured again would then maybe be a bit costly once the damage has been sorted?
Anyway, either way I hope both the seller and eventual new owner both get the right deal and are happy.

Didn't sell : "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing"
So maybe someone bought it outside of ebay..............

Saw the post a few days ago but wasn't able to respond due to being a new member, the car in question i took delivery of last week and have already started the repairs, for the interested the damaged is mainly to the Fibreglass side wing and bonnet, the upper NS wishbone (U in shape) and ball joint (snapped) luckily no chassis damage. The main down fall is the two front 8 spoke OZ wheels are total, the damage (splits and bends) was not the issue they buckled engineer shop have tried but i am afraid they are RIP. So if anyone knows where a pair or full set of 8 spokes are for sale let me know. Failing this looking for a set of nice alloys.
Good Luck getting it back on the road, looked a nice tidy example from the photo's - apart from the obvious.
