That is cheap 
I recently bought a '98 BMW 528SE for £400 from my neighbours. FSH, immaculate condition, but it had been written off and classed as a Cat 'C' after a front end 'minor' accident. The insurance company get quotes from specialist Car repairers who probably charge £100 an hour, and use parts from the main dealers. In this case the cost of repair was over £1500, so it was written off.
I spent under £200 on parts, a new plastic bumper for £90, new bumper bar for £40, and a headlight and front wing from a scrap yard for £50. The car was VIC's and back on the road in under a week.
The point is that insurance write off cars may not always as bad as you may think.

if that was all, why a c and not just a d?
You tell me........ 
C - Repairable salvage. Generally applies to older vehicles. Can be sold for repair but must now have VIC inspection.
Recorded at DVLA & HPI.
D - Repairable salvage. Minimal damage sometimes stolen and found after claim has been paid, or cost of repair combined with difficulty obtaining new parts to enable a swift repair.
Recorded with HPI.
