Simon,
the cockpit section looks to be intact.
The only undamaged bit looks to be the boot lid....
Sad, wonder how it happened.

Like the wording in the ad
"Cracks on engine sump and one head (engine bmw so all parts cheap and available)"
Not aware the terms BMW and cheap are mutually compatible.

Great wording - better translation, looking for schmuck who does not know how complex these things are and how rare parts can be.
The occupant area looks quite good so that's a good sign. The passenger windscreen frame looks bent back, I don't think it rolled so maybe pushback from impact. We are looking for someone with two black eyes at a guess as the airbag looks to have done it's job. Hope they are okay.
Will they get another S5 or a Plus 6 order?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Ouch!!
I'm not sure Rebuild would not be better considered as "build new". Old car in a heap and a new chassis on a dolly and go from there. Looks like there is water damage on the inside too.

Cat B so breaker only. Seems the seller may not be aware of the Rules!

Occupant was a long term Morgan owner who was hit by another car which was on the wrong side of a motorway. Other car driver did not survive - Morgan owner got out without a scratch, just some bruises. Police could not believe he wasn’t badly injured.
Morgan owner has just collected a new S5 - the last one built - says the car saved him and will always drive a Morgan!!!!!

Robbie,
sad about the other driver, very pleased we have not lost a fellow Morgan owner.
Also very pleased that he has a new S5!
that accident says a lot about the inherent safety of our Morgans: essentially a head on at motorway speed, although I bet the brakes were being applied hard!
