I certainly would have suggested to the other party that this vehicle could be repaired very cost-effectively without an insurance claim and given them the option, as they would have known the influence this claim would have on future premiums for themselves, thus putting them in a better situation and preventing a total loss claim.

I'm almost getting the feeling you're doing a sales pitch... ) As an enthusiast, do you know why they allowed it to be get written off for what appears to be such minimal damage, on such an apparently lovely example ?

Is it your car roverguest ??? I.e. Is this car a private entry into the salvage auction, for example written off and kept car then entered it into the auction, that might make sense now it's on minimal bid when nearly every car I but never starts on minimal bid or fly's up so quick, might also explain the sales pitch.

I'm just hoping someone saves it as genuinely gutted about it even though it's not mine. A lovely rare spec car, and this is his 3rd (!) to be written off. I personally have a MG ZR and Metro GTi but often umm and ahh over ZTs lol We tried hard to prove the value of this example to encourage them to repair it but they just say the quotes were too much. He was paid out £2600. As regards to damage, I never actually saw the car damaged but from ehat I was told and what can be seen in the photos, the boot no longer closes properly but I'm not familar with the rear end of these cars or their construction to say what may need replacing.
