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 has had a silicon intercooler pipe fitted by the looks of it, so has it been owned by a Rover 75 member? Also he does tell lies. He answers the question, ‘is it modified’, and says ‘NO’. And then tells you it has been mapped to 160.?

This is my old car, original reg NG04UNN, actually a Contemporary SE, and it sustained what I'd say was substantial damage as a result of being struck by a driver pulling out of a junction in 2016.
I rebuilt the front end of the car (two new wings, bumper, slam panel, bonnet, n/s front and rear doors, new headlamp units, new windscreen, only other damage was to the front n/s chassis leg which had deformed at the crumple zone just rearward of where the crash bar bolts. The only reason I disposed of the car is was that it broke down on the motorway with an odd fault which stopped the engine running, it eventually turned out to be the EGR valve had disintegrated and the head of the valve had disappeared into the inlet manifold. The bloke I sold the car to, who is a work colleague, intended to use the car after getting it running, but found it too low to the ground and difficult to get in and out of. He sold the car on to someone who claimed to be an enthusiast who intended to keep the car, less than three weeks later he'd re-registered it and was asking £1800 for it on facebook, but didn't mention the marker against it. If anyone wants any info on the car - including pictures of the vehicle just after the accident, please get in touch, Steve
