That would be it. Obviously you could repair it. But would it be economical to do so? Ive got no idea so I thought someone with more knowledge in that area could enlighten me.

Well at least you can listen to the sound of the V8!

Shocking. Nasty, but you could see the driver was travelling at a very dangerous speed, it seems they fish-tailed coming round the corner, and in trying to correct it slid sideways and went straight into the tree.

Thank goodness the homeowner was not gardening.

if the buyer saw the links to this page they'd know exactly how that thing came to be in the first place.

would be ideal as a parts car i guess.
