tiggrr1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Quoted from Raider Been told today that it will be back in the UK around October 1st at a location in Brentford. The insurance company will then contact me about what happens next.I reckon Essex is better than the Czech Republic for me to make sure the car is saved one way or another 🙂 Good to know PMW is on the way back to the UK 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Dodgy place that Brentwood in Essex, my home town!I guess if the Insurance are bringing it back there is a good chance of Martin obtaining the salvage even if written off as it should really only be a Cat C write off at most just uneconomic to repair through insurance but able to be put back on the road.

Raider Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 It might be Mike but I have now received a settlement cheque (pun intended ) in the post this morning.When the car is back and I am fully satisfied everything is good I will email Peter James my appreciation along with some comments on how things might be improved too.I'll also let them know I will write an article for the magazine relating my experience and general satisfaction.But that will be after all those chickens have been counted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 PMW is now back and under our car port. I will check it out this weekend but apparently the delivery guy started it up no problem and drove it off the street and Deana said the engine sounded just fine.It looks like the front valence had also been pulled out a bit too.

Nick Jones Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 The last one is home - that is good news. Good luck with the repairs - and is there a dent in the sill or was it just a trick of the light?Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Pigtures of the damageYou can just see where the radiator has a pulley nut sized hole in it where it was puched back in the impact.On the others it's clear someone has pulled the front panel back out.
