Does state that the reg number is not included in the sale, presume it has been given an age appropriate number by the DVLA.

A car could be a Cat C simply because something as simple as a dent in a wing, or a bumper being required on an older vehicle.


Many years ago I had a Sierra with a simple rear wing dent just above the wheel arch caused by another driver.


Due to its age the assessor advised that it would be classed as a Cat C write off, but, due to its otherwise excellent condition I could buy it back at scrap value.


So I got the full market, at the time, payout of around £3,000, less around £200 and it was mine again.



A pleasant Saturday afternoon had it pulled out, filled, (very little ) and painted, straight colour, no faffing with metallics.


I ran it for another 8+ years, without any problems and by then it was getting very tired, so sold the engine, they were sought after for kit cars etc, sold a few other bits and bobs then scrapped the remainder for a total of around £450 +.


So a Cat C can be a bargain, I had no trouble insuring it other than being told that in the event of another claim that due to it being a Cat C there would be a reduction in the payout figure.


By the way, Cat C finished in 2017, the equivalent from then being N or S, so it was presumably damaged pre 2017.

Not fully loaded in my book - not automatic! Mileage not bad, and we know how far they can go, but plenty lower for sale over the past few months.

It would appear that the vehicle now has it's original number back, I've just done an on-line check for NG04UNN and MOT history is now showing,

I see the car eventually sold for £1706, I just hope the new owner is fully aware of the history of the car!
