Is that the copper wires from the loom you can see, still intact running through the car?
Thought that would have melted, given that the alloy melted!

Ah, so at least we know what temperature the fire got to!!
Can't help but thinking that the car really did look like a Ferrari, especially in red!

Bloomin Heck!
Only just stumbled on this thread that was cross-linked from another.
Really feel for you and know exactly how you must feel. We had a cherished car go up in flames a week before our wedding. It was meant to be the wedding car too 
Hope the insurance comes right for you
