Morris Minor Owners Club

i would say if it needs new floors and sills that lifting it wouldn't be a great option.

fraid so, hopefully not but there's still a chance.

Right shes now at a body shop in pool getting a full assessment of how much it'll cost to repair.

ooop turns out I'm wrong, my dad said the place the moggy is somewhere for it to be properly asses and the insurance company has said pay do no more than £4000 work to start with. It has nothing to do with my MP he got his roof popped out in a completely different place.

My mistake.

couldn't say, he had one of the lowest expensese claims in the south.

it should get properly repaired but only time will tell. I will keep you all posted.

Well with all being well it should be getting repaired, the insurance engineer reckons its repairable so I think my dad is sending it off to a body shop in Poole they have 4 morris minors and they said with £4000 pounds the should be able to get it looking smart again. the local MP rolled his Moggy ...

thanks for that, I have done that. Anyway it looks like she's getting repaired. Because my dad had an agreed valuation of £5000 we can keep the car regardless of if its written off ( obvioulsy we will have to buy back the car) and the insurance company said we can either use one of there garages or ...

The insurance company had heard of Minor Miracles in Devon and they seem quite interested in the job. anyone know anything about them?

Cheers,

Will.
