Just a quick update to say thank you to all who have got in touch about this. I'm afraid I don't have any firm news to report yet. I've had a couple of rough estimates for the repairs, which were a little lower than I'd feared they'd be, so that is good news at least. However I'm still waiting to hear back from the insurers as to their valuation of the car before the accident and it's salvage value now. The difference between those figures will determine how things proceed. It's at times like this that we can curse the relatively low market value of Bristols compared with their price when new and the cost of the skilled labour required to maintain and repair them. If it were a DB5 I'm sure it would be well on its way to being back on the road by now!
