Default Not allowed to drive again these days says swmbo

Exactly 1 year ago my car was destroyed by an opposite driver. The midnight blue rover 75 was written off. A week later there stood an arden green 75 for the door.
Yesterday while driving 50 mls/hr a deer crossed my way. He/she didn't survived, poor deer.
Lucky the car is built very strong. On this road, no lamps, there are lots of accident with these animals and most of the cars are total lost after this.
My car has no damage on the lights, only the grill is broken en there is a small dent on the lid.
Luckely I have a spare grill. And I need a new licenseplate.
Oh, and 1 of the headlight washer jets is gone, so if someone have one left for a mk1 I would be very thankfull.

Luckily it seems you are not injured. Venison steaks for a while.

I had the same thing happened within 20 minutes of me driving in the US. Oh dear, oh deer! It was a "six pointer" and it spun in the air and hit every panel down the side of the car. The local policeman just asked us to help him move it to the side of the road and told us to enjoy our vacation! He told me that if it had been standing up tall when we hit it rather than running over the road, it could have come through the screen and speared us with the antlers!
Can't help you with any of those parts so best of luck for your driving and repairing.
