I checked the gumtree ad, why would they say "BREAK ONLY VEHICLE - FULL CARS ARE NOT FOR SALE!"

A neighbour's Volvo C30 was hit in the side, the owner said there appeared to be very little damage, he liked the car wanted to keep it but it was written off. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I would think most early FL2 cars will be Cat D for what would seem back in the day as just minor damage if it now involves claim handlers (Yorkshire Dialect Meaning - Thieves in suits) .

Remember that written of means that the cost of repair is around 60% of the value of the vehicle so a £10k car with not a lot of visible damage can be written off with a £4k repair bill. My brother in law had a bump in his Jimny which wrote it off so they paid him and then he bought it off the insurance company and fixed it up himself. Ended up in profit! Sold it on a year or two later. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
