If I had the cash I'd take it, but sadly the price is about the same as the insurance

Cat C means the insurers think its repairable.

I wonder what 'underside damage' is though. If its major chassis rot then that'll be big bucks and the £1500 it stands at now might not be so cheap.

Yes the pictures only show the seats looking, shall we say distressed. No sign in the pictures of the floor being damaged. But TVRs can hid their really nasty features well.

No exhaust apparent in pics.

Has it been scraped off, has it rusted through and fallen off, or has it been taken off to repair chassis damage?

Note drivers door out of alignment.

Mould on hood and condition of interior suggests storage in very damp environment.

I would be checking for rust, rust and, oh yes - rust.

cat c means loads of trouble::- vic check , lg book will stat that at sum point in its life the vechile has been a total loss.
personal i think a specilest will buy it and break for spares. it will cost more to bring it to a decent standard than a straight one will cost to buy.
