| Im sure there are plenty of repairable LRs with nothing much more than panel damage. Worth a punt at the right money but will in all likelihood be scrapped? |

| Speaking with local dealer this week. New F2 no longer available to order so unless dealers have stock of unsold cars your choice will be limited. Might be good time to get a bargain though? |

If you care about your car, and most on Forums do, you wouldnt trust your car to be washed by these guys. Quick rub down with a gritty sponge anyone?  |
