There is a threshold in the UK that they use to decide if the car will be a total loss or a write off as we call it here.
I believe if the value of the repairs, rental cars, legals, etc. exceeds more than 30% or 35% of the value of the car then it is written off.
You dont see many Jeeps on the roads in the UK and Trackhawks are even more rare as the UK was only allocated 20 of them.
I would imagine being so rare in the UK and with availability of parts and authorised garages being scarce that in the UK they would be written off for the very lightest of damage.
Being more common in the US, they are probably alot easier and cheaper to repair and I would imagine the threshold to write them off would be a lot higher.
