App.2d 439, 246 N.E.2d 55 (3rd Dist. 1969), the court, in an opinion by Justice Alloy, adopted substantially the same rules and because of the insurer's six-month delay in notifying insured as to its election of options, sustained insured's right to recover the value of his damaged automobile immediately prior to the collision in the amount of $3275 plus consequential damages including interest on that value at 5% per annum, plus reasonable attorney fees under the statute.
