Gutted for you mate ... glad it's not down to you. Been to A&E ? You'll start to stiffen around the neck and shoulders I expect.
Yep ... write off for the paint I reckon.

There doesn't seem to be too much panel damage... New boot lid, bumper and light cluster unless there is other hidden stuff.
Assuming the others are right about it being written off (and i guess they are probably are as there have been others written off for less ) i'd buy it back and fix it myself.

That is an absolute sickener................if that were mine I would probably I hope the insurers use a bit of common sense, but then again you did say you were pushed into the Merc infront, any front end damage?
You sound like you are in great pain.................

Really sorry for you mate, I saw the car at the MG onwers club meeting at Silverstone last year and it looked good then and I know you'd done a lot to it since then.
I hope your not injured in anyway as it looks like a hard impact.

the pics dont show the full extent of it, if you look at the rear quarter you can see its hitting the back door and the rear quarter is creased too
