Want to clarify that Steve ! don't be cryptic...The DVLA have that reg flagged (since oct 2001) it cannot be put back on the road under any circumstances.

It is listed as a category A write off due to accident damage (!)
It was written off in 2001 but has not been disposed of therefore it still exists as a registered vehicle, hence the new V5 being issued by the DVLA, the same as any other car it needs to be 'kept' and as the V5 only applies to the registered keeper.
The current seller was NOT the registered keeper when it was given the Category A status. I have three recorded keepers on the club database and I know who was the owner at the time it was written off.
It will NOT be possible to get around the category A status, the car should be crushed (according to the DVLA / insurance rules.
Unless you want to buy a pup best stay well clear.

What are you talking about?
I thought this club was here to help fellow owners, once again it lets the members down by failing to supply information that is factual
I don't understand how The Club has anything to do with this... The information I posted is factual, no speculation, drawn from two internet search engines that any tom dick or harry can use and the clubs records.

Steve, you're not making any sense.
All I've done is report back the facts to you lot.... The car was listed as Cat A in 2001, it should have been destroyed but obviously wasn't... I don't understand why 'we' are the bad guys here. How is this our fault?

This is part of the report I paid for yesterday. I really don't understand what you have a problem with..
Mechanical Inspection
Marked as ScrappedNoNumber plate ChangesOur Insurance Write Off Check will look through the MIAFTR database (Motor Insurance Fraud and Theft Register). And through another Database Called vCar which we are one of the only companies to have access to.
Green tick indicates that we have no evidence of the vehicle being Written OffRed Cross indicates that we have evidence of the vehicle being Written OffWhen a vehicle is written off the Insurer will make a record of the Write Off in the MIAFTER database. Our check will look into the MIAFTER database and the vCar records when you purchase a Instant Car Check and alert you to any Write Off records marked against that vehicle.
There are 4 levels of insurance categories which are allocated when an insurer declines to repair a vehicle following an accident or other damage. These are allocated as A,B,C,D. These are often termed “write offs”. Any vehicle which has been allocated a category will have a lower value than if it did not regardless as to the quality of repair.
Category A
These cars should only be scrapped or crushed. There are few (if any) economically salvageable parts. The only worth is in the raw materials that are less damaged. These vehicles should not appear on the road.
Category B
These vehicles are deemed to be suitable only for spare parts and their shell should be crushed. This means that in the opinion of the insurance company it would be uneconomical to render the vehicle safe to use on the road and salvage yards are not allowed to sell the vehicle for repair. It is not illegal for an owner to repair it and return it to the road so there are some Category B vehicles for sale. Do not drive or be a passenger in a Category B car unless you are certain it is safe. Many insurers will not insure a category B car. Exercise extreme caution.
Category C
Significantly less damaged than Cat A or B, yet repair costs exceed the vehicles pre-accident value. These cars are fixable and are popular with car enthusiasts who wish to make a car their own and like a project. It is legally allowed to be returned to the road prior to a VIC test.
Category D
Category D: These are cars where the insurer declined to repair, either on the basis of the cost of repair, other costs (e.g. car hire, delay in spare parts) or policy (e.g. water ingress, rare vehicle etc.). They can range from major to relatively minor repair work. They do not require a VIC check. Exercise caution.

One slight point to get your facts TOTALLY correct
The insurance company can/will asses your car after an incident
They can then declare it whatever cat they like from a-d but it is still your property and if you decide not to go through with the insurance the car and v5 remain yours
Insurance assessment is only completed when you agree and you hand your v5 over and the Insurance company scrap it
Present owner was VERY open about the facts till Walter mitty style wasters started making threats !

That's the thing with Walter mitty you never know who he is
Just that he is a twat ! Sure you will agree
-
-
Sure you can use your account an message the guy an ask
Not like Walter mitty would have another fake ebay account is it ?
-
-
Don't care what I have been asked to do ! I'm not doing it
Myself and several others people on ebay managed to chat to the seller and he was quite happy to chat and was 100% open with everyone
I wouldn't even pass the reg on to Ade yesterday as the information I was given was between me and the seller
Everyone else had the chance to deal with him,some just choose to go at it like a bull in a china shop and mess it up for all the others
Viewing the car at 2.30 tomorrow and friendly mot inspector is putting reg and chassis number into the system first thing Mon morning for me

"a lot of trouble" ? Grow up
I await with baited breath to see what happens
