my theory is totally wrong, although still think the door will be difficult to open.

It doesn't look too serious from the pictures.

So all the damage to the front was caused by someone being heavy handed in the removal?

no, it looks from the second photo in the article that it has driven into beick, then reversed hard back. The auction site photos have the bonnet open, making it appear worse than it is.

Reversed into a wall ? at warp speed ? I bet there's some damage to the underneath , one of those cars that's going to take a bit more work than it looks AND the I.P.K. is lined

I believe so, from what I have read the whole bellhousing area is wider. So much so there is no room for the little footrest we have in the normal cars.

I've seen considerably worse repaired, to be fair I have all the bits to fix that.
Fortunately I've no space, and even better no desire to do so Trikey, it's got to be an easier fix than this...... |

That's why the V8's don't have a spare wheel It looks like it could be repairable, besides what you can see in the pictures, there may be damage under the car that you can't see. The pictures of the accident show that the front of the car is quite a bit higher than the back so it might have been grounded on the base of the wall Before buying I'd want to have a good look at it that's for sure.

Looks to me like the rear windscreen being broken could have been due to falling masonry? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/176...home/#gallery0
