Alex said:That's what he did. When he went down a week later to check progress, the car had gone. Garage told him Insurance had changed their mind and written it off then moved it on 2 days earlier to his visit.
TurboRob said:Yes, because I did as Alex mentions above - obtained quotes with and without it declared. 20% increase for it declared.

That's disgraceful Alex,
You could do us all a service by naming this Insurance company please so that members here avoid the same thing.

I don't know who it was but it was a member on here posting about the progress on his car. Whilst he was there, another customer came in to check the progress of his and the car had gone. The company told him what had happened and the guy lost it.
Not 100% but the repair was been done at one of the more premium bodyshops like Road and Race.
chicb said:Not having worked in the Insurance industry, but being on the wrong side of them when my 2 week old 800 mile S class was written off in floodwater a few years ago. Their valuation was just over half the price of the car , so I agree with Alex that your car may be written off. 4K for repair & for the 3rd party giving you a new Porsche for a few weeks, that will rack up a few thousand. You paid 22k six months ago, so at a guess the Insurance will probably say it worth say 14k probably much less, so it won't take much to write it off.
I would be finding out from both sides ie your Insurance & 3rd party's Insurance before deciding how to proceed. Be very wary.
