Hello! I picked up my UK limited edition Fiat 124 Spider on Saturday 1st October 2016. Number 76/124.

Absolutely delighted.

A 91 year old Peugeot driver who doesn't understand the difference between brake and accelerate totalled me on Friday 21st October 2016.

Absolutely gutted.

And I hadn't even got around to joining this forum yet.

Anyway, hi. I'm Natasha and I live in Berkshire UK. I've only ever had Fiat cars and I adore the 124 Spider. I do not adore 91 year old ladies who drive into them!

Oh man I'd be sooo pissed! Glad you're alright though, at the end of the day that's the main thing!

That's a tough one... I personally would hate taking it back after the repairs... I would rather them not repair it and write it off just because it'll never be the same.

Oh I don't know, on occasion I've seen some exceptionally good repairs. Granted on close inspection I could still tell (though have worked in the trade mind you so know what to look for), but was still very impressed by the work done.

So what was the outcome Orchidhouse?

'Tis worth a read; maybe you need to get in touch with FCA?
