So very sorry to read of this but as many others have said the most important thing is you are OK, you can rebuild a Morgan so you being fine is the key thing.

Good luck with getting it sorted.

Sorry to hear this Ivo. Your car is beautiful so hopefully it can be fully repaired. I have seen worse brought back to life.

Jeez... so sorry to see your bent Morgan, but as Colin typed the main thing is that you are OK Ivo.. I suspect many folk here have bent some metal in our time, which is ever a traumatic situation, thus can sense your disappointment. I do hope that you can resolve the situation in whichever way suits you best. As others have already typed Morgans are infinitely repairable, much depends upon the determination of the owner relative to the prevailing circumstances... Good luck.

Thank you all thumbs

A little update:
The insurance expert needs some documents from my side and a repair costs estimate from the dealer, upon which he will decide whether or not, the car will be repaired. So there is some hope. sunny

But there is also a downside of this solution. The dealer stated, that, if the insurance should decide, to build up the car, this would be a long term project, (up to one year) depending on the availability of parts space and manpower (it is a very small garage).
He does not really see a sense in a repair, as the costs could easily sum up into the range of a new car.

And me, I‘m really torn apart. On one hand, I would like to have my baby back. Unfortunately this would result in no top-down motoring next year, unless I buy some cheap convertible for the „morganless“ time. sick

On the other hand, I could probably get a new Morgan by springtime. This would then be a +4, as the 3,7 Roadster is too powerfull and also too expensive (at least for me).

Or should I get me a pre-loved 3,0 Roadster …or even a +8 ? …and, of course, repaint it to my favourite colour combimation winky I also considered a Threewheeler. The dealer has one for sale, but 50000€ seems a little bit not worth the price.

I could also buy something completely different… a BMW Z4 or a Mecedes SLK maybe? laugh2 …nooooo, not even in my dreams. rofl There is no way of replacing a Morgan by something of that kind. What I could imagine, a MGB, a TR6 or an Austin Healey 3000. I always loved those cars. thinking

But these are only thoughts, of which I have many in my head, at the moment. Thanks for your patience, for having read all of that smile

Sunny greetings,
Ivo

Ivo, it's nice to see your mind freeing. The phase of new plans and decisions can be one of the most beautiful times. Maybe a change is also very attractive. One lives only once and one makes new experiences. Perhaps another brand? I personally, that is only my view, regarding Morgan I would instead of a Plus 4 GDI look for a well maintained but price-attractive Plus 4 with Duratec engine but MX5 gearbox. Such a car can be tuned in many ways very well. You would have the advantage of driving a Morgan that is differently balanced than a roadster. It would be a great new experience. Take a test drive. I am so happy with my 4/4 and 140 hp. That would be another option. I wouldn't trade the 4/4 for a roadster any more and I already had three roadsters.
If you like we could meet in spring or earlier if we have no salt and if your time allows before you make a decision and you could testdrive my 4/4 just for fun, I do not plan to sell my car.
