ooohhhhhh.... interesting.

doesn't seem TOO damaged to me

If this is the one I saw at the factory late last year then almost every body panel will need replacing. It had all four corners and the rear end damaged, I couldn't work out how though

hmmm, enlarged "back-end"picture: damaged at rear too

a whole lot less cheaper

Ahh.. taken a closer look at the pics.

OSF: New wing and splitter... also possibly damage to air intake and air con rads.

NSR: Rear 1/4 pannel damaged at base approx 12-18 inch gouge

Rear: Broken Rear glass, damaged boot pannel possibly rear chassis damage and exhaust rear secion damage.

OSR: Rear lights broken, rear 1/4 pannel crushed.


General:
Undertray at rear probably damaged and not sure on rear suspension carrier alignment.

Other Checks:
Need to check if the bodywork hit at the back has rippled through the roof skin to damage top of windscreen area or top of door frames.

Take care!! The AeroMax chassis number A0038 is a category B write-off, therefore no parts will be supplied for this vehicle from any Morgan-Dealer. The chassis is damaged and can’t repaired.
Edi

TKO Then . . . Anyone need a project engine and gearbox.?!

That's a real shame, particularly if as Cereal says, it can't be repaired.

I must admit I thought cat A and cat B could not be sold for repair? Maybe cat B can be sold for parts (Cat A must be destroyed).

But it seemed that the vendor was selling it as a car for repair. I couldn't click on the ad a little whe ago will check again but don't even recall it being listed as Cat 'anything' and Marlow Cars is a reputable dealer?

Ok update:
