It's just a thing after all. Things can be replaced, however nice. People can't. Having an elderly lady drive into my car at low speed at a junction a few decades back, I was more worried about her than the damage, as although both of us were mercifully uninjured, she was clearly very shocked and upset. I did my best to calm her down until a friend of hers arrived. Please be kind and gentle if you are ever involved in such an incident. People, especially older folk, can be quite fragile. Shock alone can be quite dangerous.
Unfortunately, there’s more people on the road that pay little or no attention nowadays than the people that are careful drivers and actually pay attention…..☹️☹️
Far too many people are being distracted by those damn infotainment screens. So sad to see a perfect classic destroyed by some idiot 😢 I would lose my shit if anyone hit mine.
That really sucks. I'm a Merc owner myself. This is testament to Mercedes build quality. I'm sure that this could be repaired. Don't write it off just yet. Rob & Chris of Salvage Rebuilds UK have repaired worse.
Oh we've repaired much worse. The only gripe is that we have to go through the insurance before we even know what's the plan with the car. If they write it off, we'll just buy it back and fix it up.
yes true but they don't have to deal with the insurance side of things. Remember this is a family car and we have to go through the insurance due to the nature of the accident. They just buy cars that have already had the paperwork sorted out on.
Gutted to see a 190E like mine eat the dust.. the colour of yours (Almandine Red) isn’t so common. Even pre NCAP they were focused on safety and this shows it. The reality is that if you know the car and apart from this accident damage, it’s a good solid runner, no head gasket issues, for example, saving it has to beat buying something else new and not having the same history. I’m a member of various 190 E groups on Facebook and there’s at least a couple of good guys who break these on a regular basis. The roof doesn’t look kinked so don’t write it off unless it really is that far gone. However, to be fair, if you guys can’t fix it, nobody can!
It's such a beautiful colour, might be able to get it back on the road. We're just waiting for the paperwork side of things to get sorted and we'll know what we're going to do. Everything is fixable.... It's budget that stops you! 😅
That is a beautiful example of a 190e. I think it will be worth stripping it down further and having a look at the inner wing. I think it would be repairable as the A pillar looks to have not been affected. It would make good content, seeing it fixed.
What a shame. Thankfully no-one hurt. Great cars, a mate of mine had one from new and took it to nearly 500K miles. Certainly a write-off insurance wise. Problem is, it being a great example could be on classic insurance with a guaranteed value, but it is down to the other lady's insurance. Someone I know (Timms BMW repairs and information YT channel) has had this happen to his E31. It had a guaranteed insurance value of £30K, but because the accident wasn't his fault after loads of grief he only got £20K from the other insurance. If you stick it out with the third party's insurers, buy the car back, it is definitely repairable, particularly with your skills, in the medium term, scrounging second hand parts etc. It is hard to see how anyone would not stop at that junction, mobile phone maybe?
We'll have to wait and see what the score is with insurance. It's always down to the paperwork. Can't even make a plan till we hear something one way or the other
As Lewis says "everything can be repaired" but that looks like a lot of work. Main thing is Everyone was OK. Supra eh? must be the coolest mum in Wales.
First off, glad everyone is OK. That said really sorry on your run of bad luck, you don't deserve it. Finally the video you mentioned about protecting a classic car would be much appreciated..
The best thing is mum is ok and not hurt. I remember the MK1 Astra in your workshop, you've done an amazing amount of work on it for it to look so good.
Sad about the car but at least your mum wasn't hurt, not too bothered about the other person being injured or not since they caused it. That's a very cool mum having a Supra, very nice car that.
There is no point in Insurance even looking at it. They would make it a total loss with a just a dent on the door. But that is definitely repairable, and not that big a job with someone with a work shop and skill.
Oh my goodness Lewis Leanne hope your mom is ok do send her our regards she must have been so shaken but thank goodness she is ok and having worked on Mercedes of that era as a junior tech they are well made and strong cars Fingers crossed it can be saved
Keep the car with yourselves, don't let it be taken away to a salvage yard. Could always claim the storage charges then. The damage is nothing that can't be fixed, probably an afternoons work for you guys. Should at worst be a Cat S but wouldn't worry about that as you know how good a car it is even if it is listed now. I'd get it 4 wheel alignment checked in the meantime then if the insurers try to make it a cat B, yet it all tracks straight you can disagree with them. Look forward to seeing you fix it 👍
Oh the car won't be going anywhere near a salvage yard. We'll get things sorted out with the insurance and hopefully not too long till the rebuild begins!
I wouldn't go through insurance with that. I'd repair it or have it repaired, then invoice whoever caused the damage. There's no legal obligation to have it fixed via insurance, and your remedy at law is to be put back into the position you would have been in if the accident had not happened. Also, you are not obliged to accept a valuation suggested by the third party's insurer. And never assume an insurance company is acting in your best interests or telling you the truth.
Insurance will definitely write that off if they get the chance! There was talk about them writing off my new Volvo V90 when all it needed was the bumper painting because it was easier!! They apparently had to source a new bumper because the paint thickness could interfere with the sensors in the car. Keep the classics on the road! I know of a few 190Es that have been scrapped over the last couple of years so they're on the way out as it is.
If you take all the damaged panels off that will take on a different perspective and the damage to the inner wing could be pulled back into line. If needs be take it to someone with a jig .Outer panels are available new from mercedes (at a price) or there are plenty of used good parts available.
Good that no one was hurt. As a parts car it definitely has more value than the insurance companies will assess it for. Also exported to Eastern Europe they definitely would totally resurrect this.
It seems nowadays, insurance companies will write off a perfectly repairable car, just because it is old and has got minor damage. This car is repairable and should be repaired. It is too good to 'scrap'. If they do 'write it off', buy the salvage and repair it. I have done so a few times. It is so wasteful (and not eco friendly) to waste a good car.
Hopefully you can buy it back and save it, never great when any car gets written off. Unfortunately you don't usually get a decent payout for the time and effort you put in and all those shiny new parts you lovingly replace 😢😢😢
So glad your mums ok , hope they did the other driver for dangerous driving , sadly ever since lockdowns iv found the state of driving truly horrific , totally agree on the MK3 supra being cool , iv had my manual white turbo for a long while and love him to bits
The insurance company might surprise you. Someone pulled out in front of my mk2 golf last year and the insurance company repaired it. All front end, bonnet and near side wing. They repaired the driver’s side wing. However, all new replacement parts were not genuine as they are no longer available.
Looks repairable to me.I'd pull the front and door off and get a smash repair place to pull the inner guard back to shape again. My own 190D 2.5 is tough old girl with 600,000 k's on it.
Just glad your mum is ok, if it was any other car than a Mercedes of the age it was that door would not open never mind not smashing the window, they built them strong back then.
if it is "dead" it deserves to out in glory - surely a banger racer would leap at something that solid! Oh, and yes, I'm sure you winterisation tips will be good. Unfortunately, you can't protect against everything...
As Lewis says the car did its job and No One was Injured Lewis you should buy the car back from the insurance as you will get it very cheap and a lot of the parts ar available to repair it.
It´s repairable ..! Send it to Mr.Tussik to Lithuania(he has his channel here on YT)and he repairs it you will not see any mark of damage..! I am joking ,of course ,but this car deserve to live...!
I don’t drive anywhere near the miles pre covid but every journey there’s something, driving standards are getting worse & many it’s when people are driving and using their phones, I’ve seen people txting, video calls etc.
@@WhitelandRestorations The one that always sticks in my memory, I used to commute from Swindon to Milton Keynes daily for 3 years, one morning about 8am near Bicester there was a guy at a junction waiting to turn right across both lanes. He was sat there with a bowl of cereal in one hand and a spoon in the other shovelling away - so many questions…. What if a gap appeared? How many gaps had he missed? How much cereal was already in his lap? Did he have a plan for the bowl? I’ve also seen truck drivers with movies playing while driving too, they say autonomous vehicles are dangerous but I’m not so sure judging by the gene pool!
This was painful to watch. As someone who dailys a similarly aged Volvo 940, this is one of my worst nightmares. Here's to seeing this thing on the road again🤞
The car is above a certain age and therefore an insurance assessor will write it off as uneconomically viable. Having said that I’m sure it can be saved.
Considering I just came from a Saving Salvage where he bought a brand new 11 Mile 73 plate VW Golf Mk8 R estate that he bought from copart. It was a cat N write off because the dealership workshop caught on and the car was in the showroom and sustained light smoke damage it, aswell every other car inside were written off! Nothing wrong with it apart from a Smokey smell! This is a write off 100%. You should definitely buy it back and repair it. Or maybe part it out if it’s not repairable
See how much the settlement figure is from insurance and how much it can be bought back for maybe a lot of the parts could be bought 2nd hand looks a very tidy car

Good words to take on board everyone

I agree with you on that hun
Yep I personally feel the standard of driving is atrocious
Each of us has made mistakes on the road, so perhaps should not judge.
I am starting to learn to drive
Far too many people are being distracted by those damn infotainment screens. So sad to see a perfect classic destroyed by some idiot 😢 I would lose my shit if anyone hit mine.
it can be repaired and its worth saving
We'll save it if we can!
A door and wing and a headlight and some welding will fix it
Worth saving. What a solid car 👍
Great car, held up very well
4 mins in, all I can think is "chuffing heck, they built them Mercs strong!"
Super strong! Would feel very safe in one of those now we've seen how they hold up!
@@WhitelandRestorations Also remember that it was hit by a big lump of foam-filled plastic- a testament to the modern bumper.
Me too
IT IS sad to see the car in thar condition, but it is worth to save it. They dont grow on trees anymore.... But it is also a Lot of Work to fix it.
It's a case of waiting to see what's the next step. We can fix it, it all depends on budget and time!
That really sucks. I'm a Merc owner myself. This is testament to Mercedes build quality. I'm sure that this could be repaired. Don't write it off just yet. Rob & Chris of Salvage Rebuilds UK have repaired worse.
My thoughts also, Chris would already have it on the jig and Rob would be on the internet sourcing the parts. That pair don’t mess around.
Oh we've repaired much worse. The only gripe is that we have to go through the insurance before we even know what's the plan with the car. If they write it off, we'll just buy it back and fix it up.

The main thing is that everyone is safe & well. Damn shame losing a classic car to someone not paying attention. Cheers. Leigh.
That is the main thing alright!
Absolutely gutting guys! The main thing is your mum and everyone is ok. I hope you get the chance to save her.
Hopefully it won't be long till it is all sorted out and the rebuild can begin!

Oh god that looks so saveable. Economic to save is a different question but that looks so doable if you can find the parts
It all boils down to budget and time! As does everything.....
That is a beautiful example of a 190e. I think it will be worth stripping it down further and having a look at the inner wing. I think it would be repairable as the A pillar looks to have not been affected. It would make good content, seeing it fixed.

First off, glad everyone is OK. That said really sorry on your run of bad luck, you don't deserve it. Finally the video you mentioned about protecting a classic car would be much appreciated..
Yeah as long as everyone is OK, the rest can be sorted. We'll have the protection video out soon 👍
Very sad. Glad that nobody was hurt.
Very sad indeed.
The best thing is mum is ok and not hurt. I remember the MK1 Astra in your workshop, you've done an amazing amount of work on it for it to look so good.
Seems like forever since the MK was here getting built and painted!
Sad about the car but at least your mum wasn't hurt, not too bothered about the other person being injured or not since they caused it.
That's a very cool mum having a Supra, very nice car that.
There is no point in Insurance even looking at it. They would make it a total loss with a just a dent on the door. But that is definitely repairable, and not that big a job with someone with a work shop and skill.
That's a testament to how well engineered these old Mercedes-Benz car were
Built tough for sure!
Sorry to see this. I'm sure it will spring out after damaged parts are removed. good luck, hopefully it's repairable.
Hope we can get it back on the road. Fingers crossed!
So sorry to see this. Many people nowadays have no road sense.
Hopefully it can be repaired.
It can be fixed easy easy we just hope we can get it all sorted with the insurance company!
What a shame but it’s a lovely car in one of the best colours. Even if it needs a little pull on a jig it’d be well worth saving.
It is one of the best 190e colours isn't it!
Oh my goodness Lewis Leanne hope your mom is ok do send her our regards she must have been so shaken but thank goodness she is ok and having worked on Mercedes of that era as a junior tech they are well made and strong cars
Fingers crossed it can be saved
Shes absolutely fine thank goodness. Just the headache of paperwork to deal with now
Very sad news. Happily everyone is ok.
Everyone is OK thank goodness
Repair it, you will have to do a few miles around the scrap yards for parts, but frame looks good.
Might well end up getting some panels and fixing it up
Sorry to hear that, glad everyone's ok though. Impressive how it's held up!
Fair play, it held up really really well!
Such a shame. I used to own a 190, brilliant cars.
Fantastic cars!
so sorry , glad your mum is ok
Thank you
Took the crunch and looks better off than the other vehicle
Keep the car with yourselves, don't let it be taken away to a salvage yard. Could always claim the storage charges then.

I know of a few 190Es that have been scrapped over the last couple of years so they're on the way out as it is.
I think lockdown made companies quite tripper happy on calling write off on a lot of damaged cars. Doesn't seem to have calmed down much!
My sincere condolences to the loss of these nice cars.....
Thank god no personal injury.
Let the video be a Tribute and memory
As long as the people are OK.... Everything else can be fixed in time!
If you take all the damaged panels off that will take on a different perspective and the damage to the inner wing could be pulled back into line. If needs be take it to someone with a jig .Outer panels are available new from mercedes (at a price) or there are plenty of used good parts available.
Loving the Astra in the background! I was looking at 190e's the other day as i wouldnt mind getting one next
They are lovely cars, highly recommend!

i bet @@mandywhiteland3357
Sorry to see it. I’ve had a few of those and I miss them very much. Incredibly tough little cars tho!
Much tougher than people giver older Mercs credit for!
It looks saveable by stretching the frame back and such, but if you are not going that way, get another one and keep this one for parts.
Almost always worth repairing. Currently have three.
Three's the magic number!
So glad your mums ok , hope they did the other driver for dangerous driving , sadly ever since lockdowns iv found the state of driving truly horrific , totally agree on the MK3 supra being cool , iv had my manual white turbo for a long while and love him to bits
Police didn't even come out to the scene. It's just the paperwork battle we're dealing with now
The insurance company might surprise you. Someone pulled out in front of my mk2 golf last year and the insurance company repaired it. All front end, bonnet and near side wing. They repaired the driver’s side wing. However, all new replacement parts were not genuine as they are no longer available.
We're still waiting to hear back on the decision. Luckily the parts are available out there to fix it.
What lost? Absolutely repairable
Very sad to see.😞
Very sad
Luckily everyone is ok 👍 🙏
If it can be saved it’s worth saving and it will make great content 😅
Another series.... Getting the 190e back on the road!
Sorry to see it in that state but definitely need to release the cleaning video probably in conjunction with the insurance assessors report.
Might well end up doing that!
No fault accident claim,keep vehicle to repair after agreeing salvage value.easy repair for Lewis there.
Oh, what a shame! I hope it doesn't knock your mum's confidence. Shows how well engineered the 190 was.
It has help up incredibly well
At least everyone was safe afterwards! I'm sure lots of it will live on!
Everyone safe, that's the best outcome
Sad times.
Tiz indeed
Buy it back from insurance, weedy 4 cylinder out, lovely M119 V8 in. You know it makes sense! ❤
Ha... Back on the road.... With upgrades!
I hope the car is repairable
Us too!
Would be nice to see it saved, if possible. As you say, it did it's job in protecting the occupants.
We'd love to get it back up and running at 100%
I'm here for the cleaning video.
Wow a Mum with a Supra???
Cleaning video will be up soon hopefully
Looks repairable to me.I'd pull the front and door off and get a smash repair place to pull the inner guard back to shape again. My own 190D 2.5 is tough old girl with 600,000 k's on it.
We'd like to keep it on the road. It's a bloody lovely car
Lewis as long as people are ok but feel for you such a lovely example
People first and formost!
What a shame , glad everybody was ok 👍 look forward to the future “ pick up video “ once the insurance pays out
Ha! What will we get next......
That's one heck of an impact!! Gutted for you..........did this happen inside the Welsh 20 mph zone????
It actually did! 20mph in that part of the village
Just glad your mum is ok, if it was any other car than a Mercedes of the age it was that door would not open never mind not smashing the window, they built them strong back then.
It's very impressive how well it held up!
It would still make a good donor car for a restoration project.
if it is "dead" it deserves to out in glory - surely a banger racer would leap at something that solid! Oh, and yes, I'm sure you winterisation tips will be good. Unfortunately, you can't protect against everything...
Winter prep video coming soon!
Hopefully you can keep it and save it, even if it's written off you can still save it.
Let's see what the outcome is, update soon hopefully
Get the wing and door off, give it a pull on inner guard
As Lewis says the car did its job and No One was Injured Lewis you should buy the car back from the insurance as you will get it very cheap and a lot of the parts ar available to repair it.
We'll update when we know whats happening. My guess is that we'll buy it back and fix it up
Glad your mum's OK.
As I remember the junction for Ciliau Aeron could be a bit of a bugger.
Even more so if there was a road rally on.
Certainly a corner that can catch some people out.... As we can see! 😅
Metal can be replaced human life unfortunately cannot. Just ever so glad all involved are safe and well if a little shook up.
Yep, it's just metal at the end of the day. It can be replaced
Such a shame, what about Pollits Merc?
Gutted for you. Take the money and repair it, even if it's on the back-burner for a year or two. Glad your Mum's OK.
Yeah what ever happens think we'll end up getting it back on the road one way or another
It´s repairable ..! Send it to Mr.Tussik to Lithuania(he has his channel here on YT)and he repairs it you will not see any mark of damage..! I am joking ,of course ,but this car deserve to live...!
Shame Arthur Tussik isnt in this county. He could sprinkle some of his magic on it and it would be like new.......
Door is smashed and still closes like new. These are build like tanks.
I would surely try to fix it.
That’s awful but there is so much slovenly driving that it’s becoming endemic.
Glad no injuries but it’s a shame to lose a good car.
Such a shame if this one is finished for good
Glad all ok, good heavy car and safer than most modern cars.
Definitely made to be tough!
We are on plan D now
Was she on her phone or doing her makeup?
No idea what was going on in the other car
Given the prices of nice 190’s now it has to be worth repairing
They do seem to be going up in value!
i bet the tracking isn't even out!
ive got one same colour as yours . id repair that
We hope we can!
Damn :( I'm glad mum's ok! how about giving her Monica ? ;)
Outrageous suggestion! 😂
That's sad. Hopefully you can recoup some expenses by selling off the good bits of it? If nothing else, it can go on to save other 190s.
Let's see what the insurance company says. Might live another day yet.
Must be absolutely gutting for you all. Cars are easier to repair than people,just glad your mums okay.
That's the main thing. The car can be repaired... It's all down to paperwork now
I don’t drive anywhere near the miles pre covid but every journey there’s something, driving standards are getting worse & many it’s when people are driving and using their phones, I’ve seen people txting, video calls etc.

Yes that's the most important thing
