Another mk2 lost

[stamford]

Gina, my middle daughter now works in the autotrade as an accounts manager for a bodyshop. She books in the cars for assessment and they carry out work for some big insurance companies. Last night she told me they had a mk2 180 in for assessment. Broadside into a lamp post. Bumper, wing and door damaged, not a lot she said but enough to write it off but I get the impression it may have been a monogram paint job. Apparently the lad wasn't bothered, was 21 and is looking forward to buying an RS Focus with the monies. Now it's off to salvage. Shame.

21 year old loses control of 170bhp car, wants to get the ~£1500 from writing it off and buy a 200bhp+ Focus RS.

Jesus. Were we this stupid?

I apologise for my deluded age group, so many are obsessed with Focuses or German tin cans.
Long live the mk2 Zs a future classic to atleast me if no one else.

Not sure if I can legally or Gina would have stepped in for me. :sad:

A case of the insurance company now own it and doing as defined by the law on category write-offs and the process that follows.

Would be interested in the colour code and where it went

[petet16]

It might well appear on Copart

Curious to know what the colour was. If your daughter can get the VIN she can run it through this;

Insurance company may have wrote it off but if it's a cat c or d it'll be going forsale somewhere.
