This is for sale on Copart Auction site in the UK. £20,200. Such a shame to see this.

Does not really look worse than that project car that one of our forum members purchased and has nearly re-finished, per the latest posts and pictures posted. Could be a good buy for the right person, particularly if the engine/transmission are not effected.

Alloy-bodied Jaguar XK/XKR models (X150) from 2007-2013 have not been crash-tested or rated by U.S. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). See: Vehicle Safety | National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the link therein to Safercar.gov

For this reason, it would be interesting to know the nature and extent of the driver's injuries, if any, together with vehicle speed and other details of the accident. Does anyone know if that information is available to the public in the U.K. and, if so, how to get it?

Hmmmm that actually doesn't look too bad... :)

It would appear the front engine strut, bumper and bonnet / hood did a great job actually as I would have thought this kind of impact would have traversed down the body wings a little more than it has.

Parts are extremely expensive. The front splitter alone is $3,000.
