There are currently two V8S models for sale in the UK as far as I can see, one is silver at an auction at the NEC in April the other green for sale near Manchester from a dealer. Went to see the green one 1991 yesterday, shut lines all over the place, bonnet out of line, rear boot not fitting, it had had a body off chassis restoration and overall from a distance looked very nice. In the advert there was no mention that it was a category C write off and the dealer did not inform me.
Is this legal?

I believe that it has to be disclosed if you ask the direct question.

By law the dealer has to inform any prospective purchaser if the car is listed as cat A B C or D. He has now changed the add saying there seems to be some suggestion that this car might be a cat C, I have the HPI report;
