A friend of mine had his little polo driven into the side by a mad woman in her dressing gown and slippers ranting it around in a silver astra.
Insurance company wrote it off and offered £1300. He said ok but i want to buy it back. So he kept the car and got £1200.
Not saying yours would be this cheap but........ if you have the space and time it would be worth enquiring. Say you get £6k. Find out how much to buy it back. Store it strip it sell the bits, make a profit, as Granville said engine is worth 500 maybe more. Wouldn't surprise me if you can get the car for that or thereabouts. Means you get a new ZS, an endless supply of spares and maybe money to make. Depends if you have the room and time.
