hehe why not buy a mk1 then? hehe

write offs of any kind are generally 'less liquid'.. i should have thought (but don't know) that the market for a written off car of that type is especially limited and thus it is always going to command a lower price and take longer to shift (IMO).

Yes,he is going for mk 1 now,just he likes my mk2,but there is a lot of slightly damaged GT3s and other track orintated cars out there,doesnt mean there are badly damaged,its the risk of their use on a track.

sure i wouldn't dispute that and at least if it's cat D you know it's had an off (many of course are mended 'privately')..it's just that maybe the market wouldn't necessarily see it that way (although as everyone almost expects these types to have had a bump it may be to a lesser extent)...

I bought a Cat D Caterham privately a couple of years ago. I saw (and have) the pics of the rebuild, so know at least that it looked like a pukka job. Now I am thinking of selling it, I'll have to find another buyer who is happy with it being Cat D. Then you have to decide if you volunteer the info or wait to see if the prospective buyer asks or HPIs. Also a Caterham is pretty easy to inspect and see what's what.

I saw the Catd GT3 advertised as well, but decided I wouldn't be interested.
