Hi,

Do you have any photos of the underbody, particularly showing the protection better.

Does the car have AC and is it functioning?

Do you have any further specs on the suspension - particularly travel. Has the track been increased at all vs stock?

Thanks

Hi, I'm unaware of the extent of the damage. I purchased the car when it had been fully restored.

If its Cat N/S does that mean its not insurable? Do I need to go down a specialist route? Or is this track only?

The car was registered as Category "D" back in 2000.

Category "D" has since been replaced by Category "N" "Non-structural"

Back in 2000, these cars were worth very little, so body work damage could write them off due to repair costs.

The car is fully road legal with a recent MOT "assuming you put the number plates back on" and I have an agreed insurance valuation with my insurer.

Just to clarify as the seller has noted, it was a Cat D (not S) or N now, non-structural.

I highly doubt you'd have any issues getting this insured. Perhaps the seller could suggest who they insure it with, but I'd recommend speaking to a specialist like Howden or Footman James on something like this.
