They are trying to w/o my 75
Last Thursday, a silly women reversed into my rear door whilst I was parked up.. LV are now saying my 75 is a total loss and offered my £1000 for a fully loaded 04 Contemporary Se.. or £850 and keep car as Cat C.. 😡.
Anyone had any luck in overturning this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a Rover unfortunately they're always gonna write it off as they don't repair them due to being a defunct manufacturer. You can appeal it but they'll still not want to repair it. Tell then you're happy for a repair to be done using good quality second hand parts.

Gutted for you Nigel,
Having seen how stunning your car is I wouldn't accept their offer whatsoever. Fight your corner Sir. It wasn't your fault that it was damaged so I would be giving the insurance company what for !

Try telling them you will accept a cash sum in lieu of repairs , and will then repair the car yourself . No Cat C classification then
I was trying this route recently with the wife's ZR , which had been similarly damaged in similar circumstances , and they suddenly made us an offer we couldn't refuse so it went . It was collected by Copart and sold at their next auction as a Cat C for £125 . All it needed for a quick fix was a rear door .

Are LV your insurers or the other persons? - if they are yours then try dealing direct with the other party insurers, i am sure they will be more than happy to do you a cash in lieu.

Good luck with your claim Nigel looks a stunning example, with that reg I thought I was looking at my saloon at first! My saloon is a pearl black ZT with my reg ending LGF (next but one from yours) bought from a guy in Reading about 8 years ago!
