SO lucky not to have veered right.

Ouch, glad you're OK, even if your Merc isn't. Studying the video, it looks like there was another pair of potholes waiting to catch you if you somehow missed the first ones

Yes I agree, remember its just bent iron.Shocking. Bear in mind the car as gorgeous as it was can be replaced. You’re not.

Hopefully you were just "shaken not stirred" , Senor Bond!
You can get another, maybe better than this one you whacked up.
Now if you were in Caracas I would offer some Columbian tin bashers. By far the best body & paint collision guys in the world when your car looks like its a Pepsi can that's been kicked around the gutter for a few days .
Best of luck

For me the best coffee is from the central valley of Costa Rica.
Running a bus building enterprise outside Caracas I used to buy several litres of prepped coffee (Maron Grande) in used milk cartons plus a bag of hot empanadas & cheese to kick start the day .
The only thing short, were a few wild bananas plucked from the trees at the back of the shop.
Guarding the bananas were a few of my brown & black Boas waking up with the sunrays.
They would all start a cautionary hissing sound as I pulled a few off the branches.
One of the guys asked me "Do you have Boas living in England? "
I instantly replied "Yes"!
Astonished they wanted an explanation.
Simple they are called Tax men and the Inland Revenue Service, !
Rolling laughter & English dry humour .

I had six years in Singapore and Boas were all over but rarely caused a problem, they kept the Macaque numbers down which was great coz they were nasty little buggers who could not wait to get there teeth in you, another similarity to the Inland revenue eh?Time for a bit of a smile ,seems like you need it .

You may have a claim against the council if they were aware of that pothole and not repaired it in good time.
People are claiming all the time for damaged wheels.

Dobey you are abso bloody lutely right chap, My insurance company is taking the necessary legal steps to get their money and my 500 excess back from them, it helps that the police were involved because they confirmed the highways dept were outside the two week window they have on major A roads (Oh yes it is) and ordered them to come out and repair it that night !!! they had attended another damaged vehicle and reported it two weeks before. I would praise our local plod for that BUT they took longer to arrive than the recovery team that my insurance company booked and so did the bloody ambo!
