ps im sad

Sorry to hear that - but glad you're OK. Always looks worse at the time. Give yourself a couple of days to get over the shock and then reconsider the options. Maybe it's repairable - worth taking a few digital snaps and sending them to a few body shops. At least nowadays it's easier to get an initial feasibility estimate.
Good luck

So sorry to hear that Andy,main thing is that u are allright.
Agree with Hutch.
What sort of damage is it,front end etc.

Ditto to the above.

At least YOU are ok. Things could well have been alot worse, but you got away without injury. But sorry you are loosing your pride 'n' joy.

Won't be long before another beauty catches your eye

just got back from hospital may have fractured a bone in my wrist but its the car im gutted about!
the front ends really done in!

[PetrolTed]

Really sorry to hear that. Don't despair, you're ok and I presume the car is insured?

[wedg1e]

Yeah, Andy man, it's only metal & plastic. Can be fixed. I'm sure your loved ones (maybe your wife ;-) will be thankful it was built so well! I bet if it'd been a Eurobox you'd be needing a couple of ankles and kneecaps....

(I do know the feeling about the car though... injuries heal, cars cost money!)

Andy,

Tough break, sorry to hear your news. The insurance should cover all your repair and if they do write it off then you'll have the cash for another TVR.

I hope the wrist and any aches are ok soon.

Cheers,
JSG.

Sorry to hear that mate... but as the guys have said, at least you're in one piece!

[johno]

Andrew,

Glad to hear you are OK, that is tha important bit. I was with a S on Saturday that had been truly smashed and is being lovingly rebuilt by its owner. I would not suggest that is the route for you, just that its incredible how bad the damage can look and yet still be repairable.

As Ted said, don't despair...take time to think about it and as someone who obviously has a passion for these cars do not let it steer you into Euroboxdom....

Cheers

Have a word with PR Wood Motorbodies, Westcliff. They've been known to restore a Griff 4.0 front end that no-one else would tackle.
