Hi Sam, chuffed to bits that’s worked out, enjoy the next 12 months 🫶🏼 and now you gave the correct paperwork should make MOT’s less stressful going forward. Well done Sam 👍

My nephew damaged his Caterham in a similar way and the insurance company wrote it off. He bought the bits back and rebuilt it with a new chassis from an independent. It didn't actually take him long to do the rebuild but it was admittedly quite a while before he started as he lost heart and kind of fell out of love with it for a while. I guess I'm saying that it's a rotten shame for you but it's by no means the end of the world. Take the money and buy something new or do the rebuild. They're both reasonable things to do. But decide what's best for you.

So sorry to hear this, but relieved to hear your physically ok, bar the bruises and aches. As others have said, take a mo before deciding what to do.

Truly sorry to hear this mate, thank god you're OK at least. The car does sound badly wounded though. Let us know what happens next please pal 👍

Sold

Yes glad you are ok..weigh up the options carefully.. and I hope you get sorted and back on the road before too long

Firstly, glad you are ok and walked away. You will be totally gutted, I feel for you. Do pause on what to do next. Consider carefully your options as it sounds like a replacement chassis would be needed on a rebuild and the bodywork too. This forum will give plentiful solid advice. I feel your pain. Glad you are ok though Andy

I’ll take it. PM’d

Had a bad day yesterday. Out a run with my mate in the MK and was involved in an accident resulting is severe damage to the N/S of my car, just at the door area. Thankfully neither me or the other driver were injured, though I am pretty sore today. I contacted Howdens and KGM today and have sent in pictures to be reviewed by their assessors on Monday. The damage is confined to one area, the exhaust was squashed flat, the top rail at the door pushed right in and deformed the passenger seat. The lower floor has been buckled a bit and I think the transmission tunnel might be deformed too. The scuttle panel has been pushed up and there is now large gap between it and the top of the footwell. Fair to say it's a bit of a mess. I'm totally gutted, after some recent upgrades it was really going great and I had some more big runs planned. Definitely a bad day 😞

Hi @CoastalCoops i would rather sell to club members, so pm me your best sensible offer. No rush to sell but would be good to get close to what I paid. Plus these I am selling come with the lens and harness. This is what I bought in September last year https://www.carbuilder.com/products/complete-headlamp-chrome-5-34 This is what I paid. I see the price now is £108 each plus delivery. Let me know what works best. Maybe by PM Thanks Andy

Bubbling of the coating in the red circle

Just finished getting my car back together with its new radiator and intercooler so we will be there.

Count me in please 👍

I'd be interested however they'd need posting, and my budget is way too small unfortunately 😞 If they do go on eBay feel free to drop me a link if the price is lower, I may stand a chance aha

No interest so i will consider flee bay or maybe FB marketplace

Funny 😂😂

I doubt if anyone will be going in the museum. We will start relaxing with a nice coffee/food, sit and chat to allow other cars to arrive, then we will go outside to have a look at all the cars and chat with their owners. When everyone is ready we will go for a run out, as it is Spare Seat Pete's birthday we will finish at the Bakewell Tap Room for a zero alcohol beer and pizza. (Riverside Brewery, Buxton Road, Bakewell, DE45 1GS) If you want to go around the museum, I suggest you go straight in (it opens at 9.30) or come back in the afternoon on the way home. @Tony H there are 2 petrol stations in Bakewell 😁just sayin'

Will there be many going in the museum & how long will we have if we go in after breakfast?

I have a full westfield wide track set available with Gaz shocks if that’s any good

I didn't know this was on.

And now sorted! THANKS

I think that used to be the case but now I think that we've just reached the point where it's really hard to hit increasingly stringent emissions standards without badly compromising reliability.

Hi all, just thought I’d give you an update after a bit of a wait .. the Westy has passed its MOT today as a non cat vehicle using the engine specialist report I got and emails from DVSA! You should see the smile on my face and a great day for a blast! Thanks to all for your help and advice with this!!
