I agree that the new owner has got himself a lovely little car; I've always liked the B-type Coupes. I am puzzled however with the information that the car had previously been a catagory B write-off. My understanding was that catagory Bs were not permitted on public roads ever again but this one appears to have been in use (and deservedly so).
Another Seven known to me was written off and the owner was denied the option of retaining the salvage because it was a cat B claim. A couple of weeks later the damaged chassis was advertised for sale by a salvage yard, complete with a current V5. The damaged body was made available separately.
A passing comment on the Adrian Flux website hints that there are ways around the ruling but leaves me more confused. Category B Write Off | Adrian Flux I'm not insured with them but assume there are some standard principles somewhere.
Does anyone know the ins and outs of this? It would be terrible if a car was lost un-necessarily and I can't help thinking that some clarification would be beneficial.
