Tony J Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Due to a recent off "as they call it" I am open to a resonable offer for the salvage of my K series 1400 Supersport.

Swiss_Tony Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Ouch! Looks horrible. I hope nobody was hurt. What would you call reasonable? Where are you/the car? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I'll start the bids at £1000. To me it looks as if it'll need a new chassis, didion comnponents, silencer, wheel(s) and many hours hard work to get it back on the road. It could only be considered to have the value of a constructive write off, as this is what you have done, hence it'll be 20% down on market - Say £8000 as a fully repaired car.

Dudjack Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Dear Tony, Where could we see the car ? Regards. Dudjack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ASH Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I'm tempted to make a bid just to stop it being turned into one of those nasty Vauxhall engined things. However I have a feeling this car is located in Majorca or Ibiza, Spain. Ashley Webster. 1400 Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony J Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 Ashley is right! the car is located in Spain at the moment. There is no silencer, wheel or de dion axle damage. This car only needs a starter chassis kit, front N/S suspension, headlight/indicator unit and a few small parts. I was trying to find out if it is worth returning the car to the UK to sell as Salvage or to rebuild it myself. For what it will cost to repair, you will have an "almost" as new condition car. After reading Arnie's comments I believe the latter choice would probably be the best option for me. Thanks Arnie These are component race cars after all wink.gif Edited by - Tony J on 20 Jun 2002 13:11:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miraz Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 You might want to chat to Hoopy about salvage, as he's just been through all this with his car. £1000 looks generous as a valuation, especially looking at the options fitted to the car.

The_ASH Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 To re-build would probably be the best plan, plus you'd have the satisfaction of putting right what you had done wrong so to speak. I take it there is absolutely no chance of claiming on the insurance. V.sad to see what was a very nice car now in bits.

Tony J Posted June 20, 2002 Author Share Posted June 20, 2002 Dear All I have today managed to agree a payout with my insurance company biggrin.gifI also get to keep the salvage, given the location of the vehicle I have decided to use the funds to rebuild the car to it's former glory. Thanks everyone for your offers and advise. Tony J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
