I often think of buying another Mog...but my wife finds them claustrophobic with the hood up and too buffetty hood down, just bought a S1 Elise, not a patch on the crashed car but half the price and a bit of a winter project
Considering the disparity in mass between the Elise and the Mercedes Sprinter we came out of it very well, the worst injury was suffered by the van driver but thankfully he wasn't detained in hospital. The n/s/f wheel of the Elise took the major impact, the wishbones were bent like paper clips but the doors opened normally and there was no intrusion into the foot wells. A handily placed concrete fence post stopped us from going through the fence into a field and took care of the o/s/f wheel and suspension. Upon inspection the tub was distorted which is just as well because I wasn't keen to have the car repaired after such a major whack. Probably got those deep sills to thank for keeping us safe.
