Impressive piece of off-roading considering the limited ground clearance.
The feeling of total lack of control must have been a bit scary, pleased no one was hurt.

Looking at it I think it's a write off.
I suspect the chassis is bent.
I could be wrong but...

Even If the chassis is bent, is this still classed as a write off, being a Morgan ?

Sometimes they will straighten the chassis or fit a new one if the car is in generally good condition.
When I had an altercation in my Sport chassis straightening was the solution - so I rejected it and took the insurance money full market value and bought the Plus8.
I knew I would not feel happy driving a car whose chassis had been subjected to severe torsional distress twice !
I would be surprised to see this one written off.

Yes you can rebuild it , no problem , but factor in the hours of labour from a dealer and you quickly rank up the £££££s. The insurance company will only pay up to the market value (or agreed value if you go with certain companies) and this can be a long way short of the rebuild cost if it needs a new chassis, frame front, wings, valences , steering , suspension, wheels etc etc.

I thought only the 2CV was designed to cross a ploughed field 😉 Not forgetting the venerable Land Rover

"OK, when the plough let go?" Must have been a harrowing experience  Seriously though, a very sad sight. Glad nobody was hurt. If it's any comfort to the owner, I love the colour.

Hopefully if the insurance company does write it off it will get classified as rebuildable so someone else can put it back on the road.

The new Morgan OffRoadster failed ground clearance test
Morgan Motors still ploughing on.

Glad occupants were OK, must have been a scary ride to get there.
