RTA - Please advise

[spikety]

It being a lovely day today I thought I would go for a quick blat through the lanes. Five minutes in I am behind a scout van which stops to let an oncoming car past. I am stopped about two car lengths behind when the van starts reversing. By the time it is clear that he hasn't seen me my shouts are in vain and he reverses into me.

The damage looks to be as follows:
Nose Cose
Radiator
Radiator fan
Bonnet slightly crimped

Can't tell regarding the sub-frame but I think the nose and radiator took most of the hit.

I've got the driver's details etc and will be making a claim on Monday, which brings me to my question. Can anyone advise about who to use for accident repair for Caterhams? I'd much prefer a specialist took care of the repair rather than the generalist bodyshops insurers normally use. I'm in South Bucks near Aylesbury.

Thanks in advance. I'm off to spend the rest of the day looking gloomily out of the window....

I was too grumpy to do a search before I posted, it seems Caterham South is the best option, but that I might have to argue to get the insurance company to agree. Sound about right?

Minister Power have been good for me for insurance claim work on damaged car. Have e-mailed you. Hope you get it sorted soon.

Another option is Chris at the seven workshop not to far from Aylesbury either

Hope your sorted quickly

Had to have my six repaired earlier in the year after I was rear ended, insurance of the lady who hit me admitted full liabilty, told me, seeing as it was a specialist vehicle to take it to repairer of my choice and they would settle in full.
So from my experiance I would recommend seven indulgence, they are near Brands in Kent, top guys and know there stuff.
