After my 'incident' the car was at my house. The assessor come round and arranged for it to be sent to a garage about 25 miles away where they had some 'scanning' machine which could detect for bent suspension (even though it was clearly bent as the wheels were pointing in opposite directions.
The garage 'scanned' it, pronounced it a write off, and I simply went to the garage and drove it home. Got a fair payout for it and they only wanted a couple of hundred for the car. No bill from the garage, but they did make me sign loads of disclamers in case it fell apart on the way home.
