Thanks to all those people who wrote to me showing concern when I wrote my Panda off. Here is an update.
The Insurance company have agreed a settlement of £5,000 for my car and I have bought it back for £375. To be honest, it does not have too much damage and can be easily repaired. All the panels are available from Fiat, it only needs 1 wing, bonnet, grill, bumper, radiator and headlights. The chassis is not damaged, so it will be an easy rebuild. The insurance company wrote it off because it is too much trouble to repair an old car. This means it will be cat.C but I will photograph every stage of the rebuild. I have no plans to sell the car, so the cat.C won't be a worry.
Incidently, the valuation by the insurance company (NFU) shows how valuable our old Pandas are, look after them!!!
