Only that it’s arrived at its new home. Seemed like a right mission finding the right car and had to wait a further 4 weeks to collect it, due to belts and clutch etc being done. Its a Nice honest Low mileage original car. By no means perfect but suits for being used, which is my intention. :approve:
As James says above, mainly written off due to parts costs. That one you’ve looked at seems a very nice car. If you take into account the cost of the work done recently, all belts, brakes and Tyres, it makes the price attractive for a phase 2. Interestingly whilst I was looking for a vee I did notice there isn’t a huge price gap between cat and non cat cars comparable to normal run of the mill stuff. On a personal note my renault 5 is a cat d. Was like that when I brought it in 99’ and was recorded on the register in 97’. Never really bothered me as I would never sell it and the person in the street would never know!

Mole, I've recently bought a Ph2 (#24
and the two are fairly comparable cars I'd say, If you want one that Cat D is very tidy and the maintenance record looks excellent. If I'd lost out on [v6plaque]248[/v6plaque] I'd have been viewing that Cat D as soon as it was legal to!
It's worth noting that there is a process to get Cat D markers (sort of) removed if the repair is up to a very good standard. https://www.autolign.co.uk/

It does come up as inspected but it's as such no longer Cat D. Perhaps a bit swings and roundabouts but for the value difference I'd certainly be looking to try it on a cat D v6.
