It looks a little more serious to me, the other pics show more damages. Who's car is it anyway?

I think the main thing about these cars in general is that as long as you have an accident on your own then the protruding wheels, suspension etc
tends to take the sting and absorb energy. The structure also absorbs energy well.
Where I presume they don't stand up so well is when something else is involved, side impact or rear ender for instance.

If its salvage ie written off, may be worth buying to build a new one.
Isn't it sad when you see pictures like this?

i think i know that car, remeber the arches being on the wrong way round ( think it originated from oulton park way ??? )
its quite an early mnr from the pics i can see
it will probably have a painted chassis which may account for the chassis rust ??? doesnt look to bad on the picks but could be worse when you delve a
little deeper
please email rather than u2u
direct workshop email ( manned 8am till 6pm )

Looks like it belongs to Arnold Clark - his name is on the back.
