I hope it's not a full write-off. A new set of fibreglass wings from Sid Watson, a bit of judicious bending back of bits and pieces, and that would make a complete bargain.

Looks like the crosshead has moved back so its bound to need a new chassis. Not difficult but you need time and space.

Was under a tarpaulin at Richard Thornes for a couple of weeks post accident.
Picture doesn't do justice to the amount of damage. Definite new chassis and significant work.
If it was a simple job then I'm sure he would have looked at taking it on.

Anything can be rebuilt I suppose, it's just a question of time and money, look at Rowan Atkinsons F1......

It's always so sad to see someone's P&J end up like this. The love and care that's gone into making it, the expectation and excitement of the new owner can't be replaced.
I hope it's a better ending for the last owner, anyway.
Any ideas, Craig..? Have you kept in touch at all..?

If I had another garage I could be tempted.
But I don't......

Any idea how it got in the field? Joy riders? The owner was driving through our village in the 30 mph zone, he then put his foot down as he entered the national limit zone. I believe the car got the better of him and sent him through the wired fence, quite far out into the field
