Very nice Ian, but to my eyes it looks exactly the same. I will take your word for it though.

What year is your new car and will you be getting the white stripe with Porsche lettering too?


Steve.

Déjà vu Iain.......

Could somebody try and explain this to me please. £129,000 when new, I know it is rare, but asking £1million and it does not even have carbon discs.

Are you going for the Porsche stripes on the side or extending them slightly onto the front?

My Spyder just has the side but seen a Cayman R with them onto the front & it looks good.

Lovely looking motor & looking forward to seeing it

ouch - between that and the new engine fire issues, the new GT3 isnt getting off to the best start.

Hoping that means plumeting residuals some time soon

seat must be worth that much?

[mwmackenzie]

Driver must have been distracted by the smell of smoke and a little flicker of orange in his mirror Sad to see one so new totaled, hope the driver was OK bar his pride taking as bad a knock as his car! Cat B so can't be put back on the road but some tasty bits on there for upgrading a standard car

[tut]

CAT B can be put back on the road, officially only if the chassis has not been damaged.

N3 TUT was classed as CAT B as the low life assessor decided that the chassis was damaged, when in fact it was not and should have been a Class C which I could have bought back.
Then the second low life that was supposed to be acting for me at the auction overbid me and bought it for himself.

Unfortunately he was known as a low life, but not by me.

Really? I thought this was the case??

The Association of British Insurers' Salvage Category Guidelines

When an insurance company disposes of a vehicle instead of returning it to the policy holder, it is assigned a salvage category. This may either be 'A', 'B', 'C' or 'D'. In some instances, a vehicle may not be given a category, designated as 'not recorded' or 'Category X'. The different categories are explained below.


Category 'A'

SCRAP only e.g. total burn outs. These vehicles must be crushed and no parts can be salvaged.


Category 'B'

BREAK only. Parts can be salvaged from these vehicles but the body shell, or frame in the case of motorbikes, must be destroyed
NB. We will only sell category 'B' vehicles to customers possessing the relevant ELV license


Category 'C'

Repairable, but the insurance company-estimated repair costs exceed the vehicle's pre-accident value. This is likely because the insurer is obliged to use new manufacturer-supplied parts and high-cost labour.

Before a log book (V5) will be issued for one of these vehicles, a vehicle identity check (VIC) must be carried out. Currently, approximately 1 in 3 Cat 'C' vehicles requires a VIC. The remaining 2/3 will have log books issued upon application. You can learn more about VICs by taking a look at the 'VIC Checks Explained' section of this site.


Category 'D'

All other repairable vehicles. The estimated repair costs do not exceed the pre-accident value of the vehicle, but it remains more cost-effective for the insurance company to dispose of it. For example, the cost of providing a hire car to the policy holder for a long period would, when added to the repair costs, total more than the pre-accident value of the vehicle. Alternatively, a vehicle may be recorded as category 'D' because it was stolen and only recovered after the policy holder had been paid out.

The log book (V5) for Cat 'D' vehicles will be issued upon application. They do not require a VIC check


But it does say these are guidelines so every chance you're right!

I checked on that first Mark, which is where I saw that a CAT B could not be put back on the road, and it can only be brought by a garage or dismantler with an ELV licence.

However it seems that the buyer can take it back to their establishment on the assumption that it will be broken for spares. Usual routine though, if you are a cowboy then there are ways around it. Would be interested to know who N1TUT ended up with, as I kept the reg I could not trace it.
