Category B Insurance Write Off
the vehicle must not be used again but non- structural and roadworthy parts and components may be recovered for use in other vehicles. Care must be taken to ensure that they are not critical components with important safety functions. Again there are several online companies who will offer significant amounts of money for Category B Insurance Write Off vehicles.

But;
Vehicles categorised as A, B or C require a VIC test before the DVLA will issue a new registration document. This will then be noted on the V5C.
And it does say in the ad that this has been done.But this confuses me as if it passes a test then it can be registered and driven?
I would investigate more as to the reason behind the cat B classification.
*EDIT* Having just rerread the listing,it says "Damage/repaired cat B inspected" So,does this mean it's cat D and inspected to a Cat B standard?
cos as rich says,Cat B shouldn't legally be on the road,repaired or not.Needs more and clearer info in the blurb!!
Or am I reading too much and confusing the shizzle out of myself?? :rolleye: :rolleye:

Yeah, but you're all forgetting the "rare cup holder"!

Don't do anything for me :sick:

Both Cat A and B legally cannot be on the road. Cat A has to be scrapped.

a front end conversion on an 8P will set you back £4k after painting/fitting - and that's unlikely to include the extensive rewiring needed.
that means he's valued the original car at £6k (ignoring the performance mods) - can you imagine the state an S3 would have to be in to only be worth £6k?
one to be avoided

Conversion? Prob more like a new front end as the original was probably splatted into something hard n unforgiving! Hence cat B :signLOL:
