Wouldn't have though it would be worth repairing..
I'd have thought it should have been written off.

from all accounts neither cars involved were insured on track so neither could claim, even though those of us watching saw the jamcock focus going cross country

It looks too good of a job to be the same car. But any car can look good in pictures.

That car could 100% have been repaired, but I'd love to check it over to see but my gut feeling is the same as everyone else though.

I'd be extremely suprised if that's the same shell, the roof pillar is all creased and everything, you could fix it if you was rich enough and stupid enough but I can't see them putting that much effort into getting it straight.

Has anyone spoken to the seller and confonted them about it? Is it the same owner that had the accident at the track as if it is it makes them no better than the prat that plowed into him.

Concrete evidence that the second hand car market is a fucking minefield
