I've given him the bad news.

I think this must be Trevors car which was recently subject to a claim. If it is I believe it the damage was extensive.

Will wait on pics to confirm.

Photos are up now. Unfortunately it looks unrepairable economically so another one bites the dust. Martin you have official permission to break this one if you can get any sense out of the guy!

Here's the conversation. This is a true transcript. I couldn't even get a word in. Maybe he'd had a few similar calls previously or just got out of bed the wrong side.

Mr D: Hi I'm interested in the GTA, I sent you an email but you asked me to call you. How much do you realistically want?

Salvage man: The asking price or close to it.

Mr D: If it was undamaged maybe, but not in that condition.

Salvage man: I'm not interested in talking to idiots

Mr D: I run the Owners Club. You can check out the price guide.

Salvage man: Don't tell me how to do my job. Don't slag off the car. I know what it's worth.

Salvage man puts phone down.

Wish I'd recorded it :lol:

I quite fancied the interior but looking at the pics it wasn't that great anyway or has been damaged in storage.

Unfortunately it looks like it'll be there for a VERY long time!

I haven't it must have got chopped off when we posted at the same time. Edit and put it back on!

Definately pop round and tell him what it's worth. Take a camera please.

I'm guessing the insurance company must have told him how much they paid out on agreed value (£6K) and he's working on that basis. Oh dear!

Take a camera please.


To see the look on his face when you tell him what it's worth :wink:

Must be worth £500 - £1000 max for spares only I would guess. Maybe less.

I sent the guy a message through ebay a few weeks ago about this car and got the reply
"WE DONT HAVE TIME TO ANSWER EMAILS CALL"

I didn't bother calling as the first thing I would do was ask them to email me some pics.

Well someone has bought this and is doing a very fine job of getting it back on the road - rather him than me :shock:

Anyway he needs two light covers in good or usable condition. If anyone can help let me know and I will forward his contact details.

I can sell him two new ones reasonably if he joins the club.
