Oh man, that is a weight off my mind. Had a phone call from the insurance, they'd looked at the assessor's report and were amazed he took no note of what he was actually looking at, could have been a 1.8 for all he knew! Thankfully somebody realised just what a MG ZT260 is and passed it to their specialist classics department. The upshot is I retain the car, no markers on it and a substantial cheque in the post which should more than cover repairs.

It would be hard to get a better outcome than that Steve, great news

Excellent news Steve - you couldn't have had a better result.

Best result Steve, glad it's worked out well for you and you can get it sorted and back on the road

Thanks guys, the guy I spoke to had studied the assessor's photos and reckons a decent body shop will have no problem with the work. Have to say he didn't have a very high opinion of the assessor!
