My insurer has now categorised my Trophy as a Cat S vehicle and offered to sell the car back to me.
To get back to where it was before the incident and on the road (perhaps worth 7-11k) the car needs a passenger side chassis sill repair, a passenger door, the passenger rear panel fixing, various passenger side trims, paint and an MOT. Couple of pictures of the damage attached.
To restore the car towards original condition (perhaps worth 9-14k) you'd have various other things to attend to, most importantly putting back on OEM sachs dampers (I have a set of un-refurbished ones available to sell), a standard OEM clutch, and tidying up the bodywork/plastics around the car + respray, replace glass, general servicing + tyres.
I've loved owning this car but don't need a project in my life right now, so if you would like to buy a Trophy project off me, feel free to PM with a ballpark offer over £5k in the next 48 hours!
