R I P
The insurance told me today that it's been declared a cat B total loss (parts only, never to be on the road again).
Had 7 years of happy driving all brought to an end by some idiot who never thought to look before pulling out.
Managed to drive 3500 miles around Europe without any problems but it seems the 3.5 mile trip from work was too much to ask for.
Apologies for the scene of a graphic nature.

Hope you get on o.k with insurance company and if they are not offering enough you may want to consider a no fault insurance comapny who will send thier own inspector and then fight with the clio drivers insurance to get as much as they can for you for your car.
If you are looking about for a new one in the mean time, please check the for sale section as my white cabby is in there now
Best of luck with it

I will look out for similar examples. As its a 1983 white with a white roof im not sure how close an age range and description it needs to be. Car had done about 138k so fairly typical. its the white roof that seems to be harder to find.

I heard about this on our local VW forum - are you on Eastside VW?
Someone drove past your carnage and posted up on the forum what a shame it was.
In Dyce was it?
There's a 1.8T 20v Mk1 cabby in the For Sale section on here for a very decent price. I'd have it myself but i'm looking for a tintop.

You maybe able to get your insurance company to still give you an agree valuation certificate now based on pre accident damage pics? worth a try ! At the end of the day its not them that are going to be paying out
I know i shouldnt write in on here as you have to be carefull where insuracne companies look, but do you know any one who owns a garage the could give you a back dated receipt for all the "refurishement work" you had done to get it looking like it did, that must have been at least £1500+ on its own ! ;-)
Try the higer priced classic car adds for valuation rather than auto trader and ebay !
