Any builders roofers want to advise me on the state of this garage roof?

Basically i'm clearing a garage out to work on my Capri, and the clearing is nearly done, however i'm a bit wary about the state of the roof so if any of you guys know a bit about this subject i'd like some advice please as to wether this needs urgent attention or could probably be left a while.

As you can see the trusses themselves are a bit warped in the centre of the garage-

This gives the roof a curved appearance from the outside-

And along the side it's splayed out a little as you can see below-

In that last pic you can see that the roof was splayed out somewhat when the guttering was last painted which the GF says must have been over 10 years ago, however you can see since then if has moved possibly another inch.

Obviously i'm going to get a pro in to look at it, but this can't be done until next week and i'd like some advice quickly. I guess the house insurance will cover having a new roof built as i'd expect it'll be a few thousand pounds for the whole thing replacing?

The garage roof is older than I am, in fact i believe it's been up over 50 years, One thing that really concerns me is I can't see where the roof is fixed onto the walls along the sides of the garage, and surely if they were then they wouldn't be splayed out at the sides?

I've done a garage roof before with my dad but it took ages to finish it, so one thing I do know is it looks seriously flimsy on the inside compared to the one we put up (pictured below)! If I had the time & my dad was available to help I'd tear it down & do a DIY roof like the one we did a few years ago, just bin/sell the tiles & use the same corrugated stuff we put up at my dads.

Thought i'd post an update on this now that a local roofer has been out to look at it, he says he can push/pull the sides of the roof back almost into their correct positions & he was talking about using some sort of cement that they use on repairing church roofs to secure it all in place along with bracing the roof from the inside in a few places.

He reckons that there is a bit of pointing needs doing around the concrete beam above the garage door as the cement has cracked either side due to the walls being pushed apart.

He also spotted this nasty bit of damage I never noticed on the inner walls that seperates the two rooms which he says is caused again by the walls being pushed apart but he can sort out-

He says he's insured & gives a 5 year guarantee on his work and has said he can do it for £220. He also quoted me £2500 for a whole new roof including dropping the height of the apex & getting rid of the chimney with a 10 year guarantee on it.

£220 seems too good to be true if it gives me another 5 years at least (he did say it'd last a lot longer than 10).

Wow, that is a fair gap that has opened up.

£220 does seem very cheap if that's including materials?

Yeah, he said it's all included. This is why I posted back more than anything, it sounds too cheap. Was hoping someone with Knowledge would advise if this sounded like a realistic solution.

Ok, so here is what i've had done-

Each rafter is now connected right at the top of the wall by new joists made out of 6x2 and there are now vertical pieces in too about a foot in from the wall. Bearing in mind the wall has already bowed somewhat will this be enough if I also put 3 stainless steel straps down either wall holding the joists in place too.?
