mine was a cat D write off in september 04, i bought it unaware of being written off in july 05 for £1350 then had it smashed into again in january 06 and it was re-valued at £900 with 13 owners and 127K totally standard in mint cond, i was expecting naff all for her tbh!!!
the good news is it never got wrote off, gettin paid £700 in cash to repair at my convenience and it doesnt go down as being cat D x2!
