Well folks after writing my wedge off i thought it had gone to the crusher, imagine my suprise when i found it on the copart website up for auction catD repairable.( to see the car google copart, then enter TVR in the search box, there is plenty of photo's).
They also state it as driveable, it is not the radiator has gone!!!!!!
The insurance company paid me out £4,000, copart have it up for the same.

It just worries me that someone will buy it thinking that its just cosmetic damage the accident repair centre told me that there was also chassis damage although this isnt mentioned either.

All my leftover bits are going on ebay at the weekend.

regards,
sad tvrichy

Hi Mate..I did see that and thought it was a triffle expensive for a write off..From the outset it does look cosmetic damage only, Perhaps contact them and tell them that its not right!!..Its a shame as its a nice looking wedge..Ziga

Copart do not have it "up for" £4000, they are stating that this was the payout figure. The bidding price when i looked was at £175.
As regards to the extent of damage its up to you to asses the pictures and go along and inspect it if you are serious about bidding for the car.

Where does it say it's drivable? Trouble is it's worthless as I've just bought a road drivable car for 1200, less mileage and better condition! I think you got a good deal if you got 4k from the insurance

Me and Hotty have got the body off at the minute, changing the bushes and clutch whilst were at it. Painted the chassis which is in great condition then try her on classifieds.
