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!

Car info: 128k miles, 4 owners, owned by me for last 40k miles / 7 years, piles of service history, strong engine and gearbox, uses no oil, race clutch, gaz gold dampers , original speed line rims, original recaros, bodywork around car all requires attention, air-con doesn't work. Now a Cat S.

Hope you came out of the accident unscathed Andy.

For the super adventurous, rear quarters are available from Renault France.

Thanks Mike, both me and my seven year old (in his child car seat I should say) were absolutely fine, albeit slightly sobered by the experience!

Morning All,
I'll be letting the salvage guys keep the 261 this afternoon unless anyone here contacts me to take it on at a Cat S project.
I'd be happy to share a file of service documents with a future owner if it goes to a salvage auction and is put back on the road.
Andy
