Cheers. It's all carbon... Winspace SLC frameset and bars. Rides okay but once I'm less sore (or the tramadol kicks in), I'll have a look at screws, bolts etc and strip the damaged bar tape to see if there's any obvious cracks or flex anywhere.
Had xrays etc and the injuries are minor; I'm not young any more so I'm sure I'll feel it tomorrow. TBH, we were both lucky. The other guy was 78 so I'm sure if I'd hit him rather than the rear triangle at that speed he'd have had more to worry about than the financial loss (it was a V1-R rim-brake that was killed) and I could have broken bones easily enough.

It's worth checking the frame alignment, especially it it was a frontal impact (as it sounds it was). What material is the frame made from? If it's steel check to see if there's any wrinkling around the top and down tubes towards the head tube. If you've a friendly LBS it might be worth them checking it over.
I hope your injuries are minor and wishing you a speedy recovery.
