Even at a glance of a photograph, it seems the driver's door doesn't close. Not a car I'd want to own, no matter how cheap. I'm surprised it's allowed to be repaired?

Wow. What a shame. Second totalled Vesuvio I've seen in my years on here. I wonder whose car that was.

Slick top. Not something you see very often.

After seeing the resurrection of Limoncella anything is possible.

anything is possible with time and money.

That will buff right out.

(That's a unique enough car that it might be worth the effort to fix)

Looks like the door closes just fine. Must have been ajar in the first pic.

Looks like non-US spec car (with side marker lights).

With a front driver side hit you would think the steering wheel bag would have deployed along with the passenger AB.

Looks like it got hit directly from the side. Maybe the airbags don't go off in that situation?

The opposite side passenger AB went off. Maybe the steering wheel was defective?

I was lucky enough to pick up the 2 toned cup II that fortunately weren't on the car during the accident. I believe it was imported out of Germany. SUV merged to make an exit and took it out.

Have you installed them yet?

You must have access to photos that I do not. I can only see two photos of the LHS, and the door won't shut/does not align on both.
