Hi Sergey, I've just seen this on my return from holiday - you must feel absolutely gutted, given the care and attention that you've put into your lovely car, and it would be so unfair for you to have to settle for an unrepresentative "market value" when you could probably get that much for your wheels alone, if you sold them separately

This might be a long shot (and not something I'd consider in normal circumstances) but would it be worth consulting with an accident management company? I'd normally steer well clear of guys like that, but it may be in these particular circumstances that they may be familiar with ways of recovering your costs of reinstatement from the other parties insurance, given that this is a pretty open and shut "no fault" claim.

I was thinking the same. Or maybe a specialist motor accident solicitor at least. I used a solicitor when I was involved in a similar no-fault accident. They take a cut of course, but they do all the work for you, and a good solicitor will probably get more out of the insurance company than you would on your own.

Nice find! Very low mileage and the best colour too

And zero previous owners apparently.

I have been following your thread Sergei but haven't yet offered my condolences on such a horrible event which, knowing the extraordinary care and attention you lavished on your car must have been heart rending. The Edinburgh 3.7 pointed out by RS6 seems to have passed under the radar up here.
