Thank you all for your best wishes.
I am pleased to say that the arse has been tracked down and has accepted responsibility. After the CCTV footage, we just had a name (thanks to the brilliant pub owner's identification) and a mobile number. After no response to calls and texts, a bit of homework on the web, tracking down a former business partner, identifying a village where he lives and then some info from the Worcestershire farming Mafia tracked down the little greasy spoon.
The Police were very helpful as were Morgan Insurance (Headley) and Hiscox. Annie at the Talbot was brilliant (if you haven't been there it is simply the best pub in the world).
And Steve Morris at Morgan was fantastic. At which other car company in the world would you get an email from the MD expressing his outrage at what the arse had done and offering his help next week to get things fixed? Bloody marvellous.
Having watched Molly being built everyday during the process in 2007, and looking after her well ever since, including two life enhancing trips this year, it is really galling that her bodywork has been violated and now needs repairing. But at least the arse will being paying not me.
