Stolen recovered, yet cat D

[littlebasher]

A colleague has his heart set on a Vectra VXR, not a bad choice IMO

Anyway, looking earlier and i came across this

TBH, i've never seen a Stolen recovered car listed as a CAT C

Anyone else come across one? My guess was that it was nicked and then had the st stripped out of it (wheels, interior, bodykit etc) so some barry boy could stick the parts on his 1.8 LX !

Why is the O/S/R door a different colour to the rest of the car?

Looks like the back quarter as well. Bargain - 2 cars for the price of 1

I put the back of the car down to a reflection (looks like a white wall in pic 3)

I couldn't explain why in that same picture, the front bumper looked another colour though!

I am seeing a few different colours in this photo:



I would be avoiding that particular one, there are lots of other nice ones about for less than that one.

Good cars, looking at them myself

It appears that something has happened on the O/S/F:



Compared to:



The paint on the front bumper is deffo a different shade as well and there are no pictures of the engine bay.

Ah once again we have a "lightly damaged" Cat C car for sale, what could possibly go wrong?!

Terrible respray work.

Panel gaps are all over the place too.

Chances are it was nicked and they drove it through a wall or something - hence a cheap respray job once it was Cat C'd.

No Sir that's Vauxhall quality control... there was one in our fleet (admittedly not a VXR) but it had awful panel gaps between the wings, bonnet, bumper.
