I wonder how much damage there actually is as its difficult to tell from the pictures if there is any floor or roof damage, Subframe and front of engine may also have been hit?.

That is not going to polish out. I certainly would be worried that there was structural damage even though the cabin looks ok. I crashed a MK1 golf GTI many moons ago coming off a roundabout at night and the back end overtook me!! tried to catch it and went sideways into a lamp post. I was lucky it hit driverside front wheel but the impact shunted the entire body towards the lamp post. The only usable panel was the boot!!

This doesnt look that bad but am sure there could be a lot of potential for bent important bits of metal. Saw the Gas Monkey guys fix that f40 if anyone watches the show and after jigging the frame one of the 4 engine mounts was still out and had to be cut off and moved. Not great, and not sure I would pay over $1million for it, even if i had the cash.

If they are asking £12k for it then they must think its repairable

Not looked too closely at the pictures but it must be worth 12k in spares surely? Someone buy it, I’ll take the lower centre console that houses the temperature gauges (small crack on mine)
