Thanks for all the responses xxx.
I plucked up enough courage to have a closer look this morning.
I'm glad I was in this and not my old Caterham...I was quite safe behind the scaffolding bars as the armco approached side on ...the harness buckle sure does dig into your xiphisternum though.
Damage is smashed radiator and front bodywork, both wishbones on front near side ,steering tie rod, rear wheel upright ,rear disc , both wheels , a few chassis dings . Drivers side all ok .
Unfortunately a chassis support cross bar has split where the upperfront wishbone attaches. Looks weldable ..... anyone knows how much a new chassis is ?
In my obvious shocked state ...drove off afterwards with the trailer handbrake on !!!....4 new wheel brake drum /bearings hub units lol
Off to Crewkerne after I get that fixed.
