Looks like it's shunted something head on. The others I have seen looked like they have suffered from too much right foot and gone in sideways.

I think it looks like it has been in a minor pile up as front and back wings are creased

Ouch. I wonder if it is repairable?

Front lights, rears lights and all four wings - pretty comprehensive write off scared

The n/s front wing seems to have crumpled in a dramatic but energy absorbing manner. Wonder how the chassis fared.

It would need a new chassis as its been written off, that's why its being sold as parts.

I suspect like so many modern cars the CX Morgans unlike their forebears become uneconomical to repair after an accident due to the level of sophistication in their design and build, I have known of some modern machinery being "written off" as the result of relatively simple issues which is very unlike the repairability that existed in older cars..

In the case of Trad Morgans which were where infinitely repairable by someone with a reasonable skill-set and in their home garage, some such are still in progress today....(-: No special jigs disassembly or reassembly processes required..

Though from that which I have observed, Morgan owners (myself included) may have evolved to become less interested in getting involved with their machinery than they were perhaps 20 or more years ago, so the trads may also die out in a way that was never expected before..hmm..?

What is the dashboard finish? It looks like silver painted MDF!

Interesting observation. I hope you are wrong but, sad to say, I rather suspect that you may be correct in this prediction.

Not helped by the insurance companies various "Cat x" which even if they allow a repair, comprehensively trashes the resale value.
