My (or rather my wife's) Avant is no more.

Frances (my wife) found a back road in Chipping Campden which hadn't been 
gritted, skidded on some snow-covered ice and whacked a Cotswold stone wall 
with one of the rear doors.  It made a complete mess of the door, pushed in 
the rear quarter panel an inch or so and pushed in the sill underneath the 
door by about six inches.  The car wasn't comprehensively insured.  Cost to 
repair:  GBP1200; value of car after repair: GBP800.  B*******!!!!!

I'm now looking for another Avant.

Has anyone any ideas on how to get the most money out of this situation (the 
car still drives very well).  I had the auto gearbox reconditioned 5000 
miles ago - also the engine is in excellent condition.  Frances has 
forbidden me from dismantling it in the drive, but if anyone on the list (UK 
only obviously) wants to buy it for spares, e-mail me.
