sorry to hear about the off and glad you are ok and no one else got hurt (I hope!)
I seem to remember Ian on hear getting uh hum rear ended in is xtreme - kermit, he sent it down to devon and it got fixed up if I remember rightly... I would agree depends on if the damage has gone into the monocoque or just in the rear suspension etc. As far I as I know Mark is still running Quantum @ http://quantumcars.eu/ you might have to get your car inspected by vosa once you have fixed it... I remember buying back my robin hood, after I wrapped it's monoquoque into a lamppost.. It was a cat something write off, pretty certain financial only.. I took the bits I wanted and managed to sell the lot on to some crazy people who were going to try and straighten the monoquoque out use it on track if not on the road again if they could get it passed. Still ended up making more money by buying it back. so in short If the cat is at a level where you can buy it back and you are happy that you can fix it, I would say buy it back. As long as it get's signed off if it needs an insepection, I can't see how it is any different to any other car. You could always call up a different insurance company and say you are thinking of buying a car that was a cat x write off that is back on the road and does it affect the premium? I know how you feel re the I built it and I don't want to throw it away.... good luck, shout if you would like to run anything else passed us. all the best, Chris On 12 December 2014 at 08:07, Jim Hearne <j...@quantums.info> wrote: > Hi James, > Oh dear, sorry to hear that. > > Do you know what category write off it is ? > > There is an article here explaining the different category's. > > http://www.rac.co.uk/community/blog/rac-blog/september-2011/what-is-an-insurance-write-off/ > Just the first one i found. > > Basically if it's D or C then you should be able to rebuild it, B or A and > you won't. > > It will also depend on whose insurance you are claiming from, if it was > your fault and you are claiming on your insurance, then your insurance > company will normally keep the car. > But, depending on the category of the write off you maybe be able to buy > it back from them for parts. > > If you are claiming off a third partys insurance then they will normally > let you keep the car. > > That's from my past experiences anyway, but my last claim was 2003. > That was when I had a KA turn the wrong way down a dual carridgeway in > front of me in the dark and the rain. > There wasn't a straight panel left on my 205GTI after i hit the KA and > then large road sign, the whole thing was twisted. > Certainly a catagory B but the 3rd party insurance company never mentioned > the salvage, they even paid the recovery charge to move the remains from > the police recovery yard to my house. > > When my 2+2 bonnet was damaged (also 2003, i ran into the back of Ian's > Morgan on the Scottish Quantum tour, oops !) and they sent the claim > paperwork through, i crossed out the section that mentioned the insurance > company could keep the car and put "i do not agree to this condition" next > to it. > I never heard anything about it, and i don't know if would have changed > anything. > In the event they didn't write the car off so it wasn't a problem. > > Unfortunately i don't think you will be able to replace just a section of > the chassis as it's all once piece spot welded together, you will probably > have to replace the whole chassis. > Unless, the company that make the extreme chassis are still doing them and > they could refit it onto the original jig. > I think you would still have to strip 90% of the chassis before they could > put it on a jig though. > > Good luck, > > Jim > > > > > On 11/12/2014 22:08, James Davis wrote: > > Had a bit of an off in my Xtreme, and the insurance company (Ageas via > Footman James) are now talking about writing it off. > > Has anyone got experience of buying it back and repairing it, was it easy, > did it affect get insurance on it again? > > Don't want to lose it as I built it and put a lot of effort in.
