Hi and welcome - definitely a change from a modern volvo
Looks like you found a cracker there though - and 5g's were very rare in Milano Red, to start with!

I think we might need to re-run that survey and see if we get a different result these days...

Afternoon all,
Just wanted to say a belated thank you for the kind welcomes, very much appreciated.
Sadly, life with the Prelude's been less than ideal since my first post. Other half lost her job the day I signed up, which has made things financially interesting and then last month...this happened;
Once the X-Type was out my rear...the car looked like this;
Which, apparently, was enough to write it off.
They've also proceeded to offer around £1,500 less than I paid for it, and because it's been done through a third party assessor (as they didn't know the value of what they were insuring...) I can't dispute it unless I go through the Financial Ombudsman. So, cheers Admiral - just made a great year(!) that little bit better.
Not really the update I wanted to post, but given the way this year's played out, can't say I'm too surprised at the same time.

Bummer dude - always worth checking the insured value for these nice examples, as book price will be below what you paid for it. Still, the damage doesn't look too bad at all. I presume you are going to buy it back and fix it up? Just need to find a bumper and your back in business assuming no other damage.
