General Late crashed Barchetta siting in Brum?!

[Nello]

Hi all - on this forum as a Stilo owner but love all Italians..................
Always on the lookout and thought I'd mention here to anyone around the Birmingham area that theres a fairly late looking Barchetta thats been in a smash sat presumably awaiting breakerage next to a garage near the city centre? Its on Small Heath Highway - just after the island with the large Mosque next to the Texaco garage. Not sure what their business is - very small with a few smashed cars in but you can see the Barchetta from the road. Its silver with the multi-spoke wheels (LE?) - sorry not actually owned one but looks a later car...............If anyone needs any bits!
Oh and it looks like frontal damage only - probably written off but everything from the engine back looks untouched including the wheels?

Thanks very much for spotting that, as these are so rarely in the scrap yards it's great to know when & where they are

Any idea the name of the place so us that are a few hundered miles away can give them a call ?

Thanks again.

Hi
Yes a name or a number would be good. I am after a few bits for my B.
Thanks for letting us know.

No problem Alan - though I don't actually live in Brum - just outside. I'm working nights at the mo so not sure when I'll next be going past so might be a week or so but I'll check out the details and post here - Might even try a get a photo for you if they let me................Looks like your car but I'm not sure its got a Red Hood...............cheers for now

Take a brave man to take this on, airbags, complete front, windscreen etc.

Wheels look OK but don't think this is the type of place that sells parts just full vehicles.

Your right although would be worth it for a body shop as their still about 7-8k it's not that far away either pity

 

[Kowalski]

What does anyone think a ball park figure would be to put that Todmoreden one right?
Of course if its a cat C or D (never remember which) it probably isn't worth it.
if it could be fixed for 3Kish it might be viable.
Front impact looks bad enough to require a jig to put it right.

Parts only unless you do this for a living if you ask me

 

[Alan.D]

You got to ask the question really if your serious, I bought mine damaged but only the front panel & bumper and that wasn't far off £1k (all fiat parts bumper alone £378) although one complete side was sprayed & dentmaster paid a visit. If it needs to be jig'd don't go there.

Some one did simlar to my B and it cost 2.8K. Then the car was never the same again.

Parts only I recommend. By I would not pay 2k for it.

2K car.
3k worst hit for repairs. Will take 1mth to get right and parts delivered.

5K then it's worth 7 as long as it's not insurance informend.

Leave alone I say.
