Default My 4x4 no more (The cosworth is dead!)

I was down in cornwall on my holidays, just driving to the beach on the last day when this happened..





I was hit from behind by a big off roader when in a queue of traffic, aslo damaged the front when I made contact with a BMW.

Glad theres no damage to me though

Another sorry end for a cosworth

Shame to see it like that but to be honest, that is not a vast amount of damage and can could be repaired reasonably easy.

Thanks for the surport guys

It was a case of him travelling to quick in a 30 limit and not being able to stop on the wet road.


Hope it is deemed a write off as don't fancy owning a damaged repaired one, or selling it afterwards for that matter!

make sure you retain the salvage sound bad but if you do the insurance with scap value could gain enough for a escort cossie if you wanted 1?
just a thought but makes you think happier thought ?
i had the same insurance paid twice for the same part being smashed in TWO CRASHS
BECAUSE I RE MOTd the car now i got my 500 and a 4x4 the 4x4 is for sale £4200 no offer just a quick sale
