Bad luck mate, the most expensive type of accident, no structural damage , but every panel dented or scored and very difficult to repair successfully .
Check for any shop , pub or Police CCTV cameras that may have caught the incident.

Thanks to you all for your obvious genuine concern. It has eased the sadness muchly.
I just went to pick up Ellie from work and she (the car) still drives lovely, alot of the scrapes T-cutted off the doors and wings but a new front wing is in order , two s/hand doors and I recon I'll always have some dents left at the rear wing, she WILL be repaired.
Mr floppy, It was a residential road, no hope of CCTV.
A sad but not out Waders.

Waders, The Council may not let you on to their property to inspect but they sure as hell can't stop you standing outside and watching the lorries come out of the depot. What you may be able to do is have a sample of the paint analysed as that should identify the vehicle by type,manufacture etc and certainly if you eventually have a 'suspect' vehicle it would be excellent if not conclusive evidence of contact between the two vehicles. If the vehicle does a regular collection how about being there 'same time same place' next week. Also a letter pushed through a few doors in the road may find you the eyewitness you're looking for. If you do find a possible culprit don't forget you'll need to get,officially, the paint sample you think is from your car. Good luck. Simmo

Waders
my deepest sympathy goes out to you...I would be devastated so I can only imagine how you feel
PM me with your address and I will post 2 door handles and the mirror glass to you free of charge...door handles are in black so will need to be blown in when you paint your car...
it's a shame I do not live closer to you, I live in NE England cos I would have painted the side for you

I spoke to the local refuse dept today, got a name and address to write to. Once I told them I have two independent witnesses (thats all I said, no detail) the attitude seemed to change!!
So, two quotes and a long letter will be prepaired this weekend, popped into the post monday morn and I'll see what happens.

sorry to read that, but from now on you should keep all you proceedings, i.e. letters and corespondance of what you are doing private as you never know whos reads this, but I do hope you get your money as this is both terrible and unfair how some mindless driver does not respect someone elses tressured property, he probley came in to close and said sod it I'll be gone in a jiffy!

Hi Waders - Thanks for your reply
No luck with a Scorp - I was looking everywhere
You call up - it was either sold or did not meet specific criteria I was looking for
Example - 32000 on the clock - superb
Called up - a printing error - should have been 132000
Bit of a difference
Even the cars on our FOR SALE had been sold a long time ago
One at the auction - last week - 45,000 R Plate 2.3 ULTIMA - yippee 
When I started it - Engine was rough - no MOT 
Paintwork - uneven - had a lot of work
To top it all whist engine was running - I was looking under the bonnet - car locked itself - after pneumatic bag was used to pry open door - no locks were working - sun roof problem - steering pump leaking etc etc etc
It went for GBP 2100 - I did not even bother to bid
After all of this frustration - searching etc
I have had to ( TEMPORARILY ) split from the ranks - I needed a car
Got an Auto Vauxhall Vestra 2.5i CDX - Leather - all of the toys - Plus sat nav - loop phone
I have not given up my search though - but I was getting so fed up - travelling miles - and when you get there the SCORPIO was not even half as good as my old one that got torched

 I'll keep them peeled
50,000 or less? not easy to find but then there's a mk3 with 46,000 on eb** at the moment, one owner (the sellers grandad) and does look mint. Rocking horse springs to mind
There's one out there somewhere  Fight the good fight!

Michael,
I'm still keeping an eye out for a good 2.0 or 2.3 up here but nothing worth having has surfaced recently.
I'll be in touch if I see anything...
There's an M reg 2.0 est in my local dealer for 10 months now... all cloth and no toys... aside from that it looks nice and clean with no major bodywork problems. Nowhere near what you had though.. I'll keep looking... do you like diesels?
