It's too long a story, ... but in a nutshell, about a month prior to the
tree incident, I had written off the car in a wee hours of the morning roll
over a somewhat steep embankment, landing upside down.
The insurance wrote off the car; I bought it back, safetied it, and I had to
get an appraisal before they would insure it for damage. I didn't have the
body done, nor did I have an appraisal. I had replaced the windshield,
tires, brake lines and other parts to make it roadworthy.
I kept the car for about a year. It was still mechanically sound, but I was
financially ruined and unable to get the body up to roadworthyness again.
There was a $3300 estimate to fix it and I had bought the car the year
before for $3900. I sold the car to 'Mostly British' ( same person now
operates 'The Sports Car Factory' ) and they cut it up, used it for
fiberglass molds, and who knows what.
Were you driving the S de V at the time?
