Oh Fred, that is such a shame mate.
I take it nobody was injured which is the main thing.
It does not look too bad, a wing, headlight and a bumper plus some other bits you can't see and as long as the guy was insured, it should cost you nothing.
His insurance company may ask you to get several quotes, but you are within your rights to demand it only goes to Maserati to be fixed.
Oh, and get a hire car, your aloud a like for like car.

Fortunately, he was insured and has admitted full liabilty.
A Plan insurance are organising the repair with H R Owen so things on that side are working out. They're even asking the other insurance company for compensation for probable loss of value.
All passengers are fine thank god, we're not even claiming for whiplash, even thought we're being pressurised by the claim handling people.
My replacement loan car (a 2011 Maserati QP) will be arriving this afternoon! I was tempted by the offer of an Aston Rapide though, thought it could be fun, but no - I want to remain untarnished by all this.
That's Life - Fred
and thanks for all your comforting statements.

Glad you're all OK. What a crying shame that its happened, let alone to a 6 week old car! Unbelievable. The other guy must have puked! That'll sting his insurer....a 2011 QP on hire isnt cheap!
This bit makes me angry. You absolutely SHOULD claim if you have an injusry, but if you're being encouraged to claim without an injury, the claim handling poeple need putting out of business. Apalling.
I hope it gets sorted quickly and painlessly

I feel for you Fred! At least you have some one to claim off, when the Deer smashed up my front end it turned out blighter wasn't insured....
I'm sure it will be as good as new in a few week's time, but still a pain in the "A hole"
Glad you and your passengers are all fine.

The other fella was worse off though!
Fred
No he wasn't Fred!
Really sorry to hear this. I remember your proud post when you picked her up.
I can empathise with the sinking feeling you would have had. A few years ago and anly 3 days after picking up my brand new Alfa GTA a girl drove into the back of it. I could see her coming in the last few moments and had no where to go in the traffic. She was doing her make up in her mirror!... and what was she driving?
A CORSA!
