Looking at the first picture I thought to myself "That's not too bad..."

After scrolling down and seeing the second picture I am shocked! How can that be a Cat D???

The pictures in the link are worse, even the roof is dented and mark!

There isn't a straight panel on the car.

I'd buy it, just to park half in/out my garage and make the neighbour jealous!

If the purchase price is a mere fraction of the cost of a new engine, gearbox & ecu - go for it. Sell the interior. The rest is scrap.

It is hard to say from the photos only. The suspension damage you can see is not too worrying for a car of this value. You would need to use cheap skilled labour to get close to making it worthwhile though.

Amusing story behind this car. Can't give away too many details but the car was stock at a dealership. Salesman decided to take it home one night without authorisation and loses it on a country lane.

Presumably he is now working down a coal mine whilst wearing his childs head as a hat?

I'm sure I saw a similar car advertised at a breakers for parts only (so cat b I guess) which seemed like it had less damage.
