I would happily buy one of the Land Rovers with a big enough discount (probably would want to see it first though). Sadly they won't want the parts entering the supply chain I expect and will likely scrap the lot as you say.

Looks like not all of the cargo escaped unscathed (in truly DM fashion)

All the media keep saying that there are "Jaguars and Land Rovers" on board. I've seen lots of Land Rover vehicles (as well as Minis and plant) but I haven't seen a single photo with a Jag in it. Are the silly journos just getting confused by the company name?

Insurance
If you write your car off and claim on insurance the wreck becomes the property of the insurance company to do with as they wish.
In this case should the manufacturers write off the vehicles and claim the insurance will want to get value form the left overs.
Thoughts?

There are, or were 1,200 Jags, Land Rovers and Range Rover's on board, understand all written off on insurance day 1.

I hate the Daily Fail with every fibre of my being. Seriously, even if I got caught out after a particularly nasty strain of lamb vindaloo, and due to industrial action at the Andrex factory, the Fail was the only paper textile available, I could not even bring myself to do the obvious.
And they can't even spell Boxster. Now I REALLY hate them.

You don't write your car off. Your insurance company may. If it does, sure, it owns the car and the rest of what you suggest becomes true.
But it with mere door panel damage, that's harfly a write-off. Why do you think an insurance company should pay out for the whole value of the car?! Ain't no write-off. Ain't no reason to believe the cars don't remain the property of the manufacturers.

The vehicles would surely be sold "Ex Works" & probably belonged to an importer

Only if you accept an offer for it. You don't have to, and you can negotiate.

The point I was trying to make is that the supposedly compromised cars are going to hit the market in some form, despite the reservations about their mechanical integrity etc after spending too long tilting at 50* in a nice salty environment.
Warranty etc...Hmmmm?

That is precisely why the entire (Mazda) cargo of the MV Cougar Ace was scrapped. I would be very surprised if any part of the Hoegh Osaka's cargo was allowed on the road ... not particularly because of any dangers, but because of the damage it would do the brands to have possibly dodgy cars out there.
