Looking at it the body work doesnt appear to badly smashed up, doesn't look like it needed the roof chopping off.

I was just thinking the same. All the other panels look spotless apart from a small left in the left rear side panel. I wonder why the roof needed to come off!

my thoughts too! can not see what damage would have requirted them to chop the roof off, normally would expect to see head on or door damage, but even the door sills look ok

Unless of course the driver/passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt and were therefore in such a precarious position that they had no option in order to remove them safely??
I've witness accidents where even people with seatbelts have had to have the roof off just so they can remove the driver safely for worry of broken vertebrae etc.
Hope the driver was ok ...look's like the car's shell did what it was supposed too.

It a complete wright off and they want £22.500 for it!!!!!

I paid less for mine and its in full working order. I recon it might have been side swiped by a lorry, that would do that sort of damage at that hight on a Roc'. and that could requier the roof to come off if you knacker your back.

Presumably, aside from the roof and glass, all the other components are salvageable. Certainly, the cabin parts and everything forward of the A pillar looks pristine. You could sell all of that, lights, engine, interior, drivetrain, wheels etc for a tidy amount but I'm not sure you'd get 22k for it all.
