And not ripped off too much. Insurance is great - until you come to claim.

Get over it. Public transport in Brum is good, get a bus pass instead.

Sorry about your car. Lovely motor.

Sorry to hear that.

I would suggest you get a claims handling company involved. Insurance companies hate them because they have to pay for them on your behalf and if you find a decent one they will get the best value for your car. They will also handle suing the tulip out of the idiot that caused this for your inconvenience your insurance company won't care.

Took private plates off...

My brother has private plates and recently wrote his car off (well, he says someone pulled out on him...). He said he had to get the plates off and de-registered from the car before the insurance went through or else he would lose the reg. Insurance co went bonkers because all of a sudden the number plate changed and they tried to invalidate the claim. It all got sorted in the end but it was a bit of a faff.

I talked to insurance about it first, used online DVLA which instantly returned back old plates, which thankfully I have not thrown out. That old plate was how it was registered originally with the same insurance company anyway, all should be good...

They want to see invoice for my car - proof of ownership so to speak before they pay out "large" amount in their words
