Depends on whether there is any damage to the tub. If it's front end only it's fairly straightforward to repair, although not cheap, but if the tub has been damaged then that's a new tub which may be why the Insurance company appears to want rid.

Front nearside wheel has an odd camber. Unless its camera angle.

Looks like light damage to me, the issue for the insurance company could be cost and availability of spares. Car looks to be in tidy condition apart from the damage.

I was going to suggest that you could check for chassis damage by making sure all the panels joins looked square and close, but I remembered its a Morgan

Besides getting the model name wrong, it looks to me as if the car was in a serious spin. Damage is to front o/s and rear n/s with both wheels looking damaged with 'things' being bent underneath. The saggy hood may be just poorly erected or signify further 'bending'. Methinks one less Aero

I agree, it has been spun and it looks as if the damage a lot more extensive than it looks. Needs a check by the factory to see if it is worth repairing or is scrap. Given the low numbers the part of the reg number visible might make it possible to track it down.

I don't like to see this sort of thing, you start to question your own Moggies mortality. Having had a few sideways twitches in the wet, it would not be a difficult car to spin. I will be even more cautious now, I don't want to be parted with mine just yet.
