A friend emailed me this photo that was posted on facebook. Really bad quality photo but the damaged scimitar looks a lot like the one that used to be owned by Quatermass. The guy who took the photo stopped to see if they were all OK and the guy said he had hit a post due to a slippery road. Happened 2/11/19 near EMA airport.

The headlight eyebrows certainly look familiar.

Is that the number plate on the grass to the right?

Although difficult to read, the blurry pattern on the number plate has a feel of the original registration number, looks like the thread and the car both died. Spooky and sad.

Cutout under side of bonnet would seem to confirm it also.
Hopefully not they end for the car, much worse has been repaired, but if insurance is involved it would almost certainly be an uneconomical repair.
*Sadface*
Evidently we didn't give QM enough credit for his ability to keep a ferocious 10 second car pointed away from the scenery.

Yep it is the car Quatermass used to own. He confirmed it in another thread. BTW was it your old scim that was crashed the other night (I added a photo the your old naughty corner thread) It was. A sad end, but quite a cool photograph to end on I thought. I've repaired far worse damaged cars than that in the past. But as Reliantreviver said if insurance are involved its not looking good for the car.
