Prior to my ownership I have very little history. The car was damaged in 2006 and taken off the road it was then repaired and stored until 2015. It is registered as Cat C - the damage was to the bodywork and I have pictures taken during it's recent bodily restoration that demonstrate the limited extent of the damage. Despite this history the car has an agreed insurance valuation of £10000
