Ah mate what a bummer.

What ever you do don't accept the insurance companies first offer if its written off.

Start compiling a file of comparable cars from autotrader, PH, etc.

This will help you go into battle!

Had to do this when my wife's 106 caught fire (with her in it), as the offer given took the mick! Got a proper settlement in the end, but it was a protracted affair. I'd have my armoury stocked if it ever happened again.

Thats what i thought, seems strange that the company wouldn't have put it back to standard plates and flogged the private one!

I feel your pain mate, mine is in the repair shop at the moment thanks to some stupid woman, if your insurance company is anything like mine be aware of a lot of paperwork to read.
