Doesn't look too bad apart from the LHS, which it is difficult to tell from the photos is damage or just bad paint ?? 

There is also a cheap 1300 GT Junior on ebay at the moment for Buy Now $3500 or best offer.  Looks tired and needs work but still could be a good project for someone.

So the insurance company wrote it off?
I guess the chassis must be bent.

Thanks Lombardi, I wasn't thinking I could resurect it, but believe my car is the same model and I could use it for spares.

Sorry for your loss Lombardi.

But can i ask if she had signed her donor card? What condition was the interior in?
Carpets ok?
Seats, front and rear ok?
Timber on dash?
Chrome surrounds on dials and dash timber?

Sorry again.
