They'll probably base repair costs on new VX parts, if they do you could be looking at a write off -book price for a senator will be next to nothing-sorry mate!

The problem with involving your insurance with the repair is that if it's declared a write off it will go on the car's history and you might well end up having to get the car inspected before it's put back on the road.

They will indeed use book value to determine if it's a write off so it's 100% certain that it will be, IMHO.

If I were you I would take it to a body shop for an opinion / quote by all means but don't get your insurance involved with the body shop.

I would then try to negotiate with the 3rd party insurers and see if they will admit liability and, if so, what they'll offer you to repair it yourself. It will be cheaper for them if your company are not involved in the settlement, and adding their administration costs, etc.

You should inform your insurers, but don't let them write the car off.

As oldgit says ... once the car is sorted have a look at "cherished / classic" insurance. It is usually for a fixed sum and a limited annual mileage, I had it on an MGB I rebuilt some years back.. admittedly it was through the MGOC so was quite a good deal...

might be worth a phone call

Yea , this maybe a good idea mate, get some insurance prices together to cover costs of things like this happening when its Chrished to you.

Some ppl dont mind there cars being writen of so they get a good payout but with teh Senny there aint many tidy ones about now mate, especially as tidy as yours.  :y
