Looks like the MV6 was stationary and then struck by something big and heavy.

Judging by the crease on the passenger wing, it will need checking on a jig.

Also, looks like the water header tank is empty so probably radiator/hoses/AC will be troubled as well.....

i have seen a few of these that are mega low mileage.

I wonder if whatever hit the car shunted it into an obkect on the NS, hence the dented wing.

Still,  would take some time and money to turn it around

I think by the time you've forked out for parts and materials on that one the total cost would be more than the cars worth even if you did the work yourself. the Porche ad quotes the bhp of the car I don't think so when it hasn't got an engine :D

Possibly true......

but to break it would get far more that your purchase price, if that mileage is true then there is a mint engine and box, some lovely cowhide that has hardly beren sat in and then the panels themselves

the biggest issue is the cost of parts to put it right, just looking at it you can bet on the following:

OS leg,
OS wishbone
ARB
Hub assembly
OS steering tie rods
Wheel
Wings x2
bumper complete
splash guard
OS door
OS sill protector
OS mirror
OS door & wing mouldings
OS headlamp
OS headlamp moulding

Plus paint and potential jigging, that wheel looks too far forward

TBH it would be worth trying to get a prefacelift Elite/MV6 that's being broken and making one out of the two cars,

So £995 for the MV6, say £500 for a donor car, and the best part of 1k for paint and labour, poss more if jigging required.

What's a MV6 worth these days £3k on a good day?

it would be ok if you were looking to keep the car and run it for serious mileage
