Depends, if the exhaust is buggered then I would imagine it's very loud.

If however you mean allowed, then no, no it's not

Oh dear lord my EYES!!!!! Please somebody gouge out MY EYES.

sorry allowed.dvla said should be squashed but car has mot,tax and v5?

[farrendahl]

That would make it a Cat D then as thats the only category that the powers that be will allow you to make right and put back on the road.

[off your marks]

Its bloody awful.

Just out of interest though - where does it say its a cat b damaged car? Or is this something that is being withheld and you know about it?

If it is a Cat B, then it should have been broken, but due to the lax attitude of some insurance companies this does not always happen. Nothing to stop it being on the road from a legal point of view, though you might have problems getting insurance for it.

How could that heap win any shows, it's bloody hideous.

[thinfourth2]

Maybe it was never repaired after it crashed into a glue shop and carried on into the halfrods store room

[james_tigerwoods]

Is it that the registration has a Cat B against it? Not that I'm trying to defend that monstrosity...

But... I have a question on this - what could the "modder" have been thinking here? It's a show car, so I'll fit it out with a "bangin' stereo" for some "big toons" to play that "rapping music" but I'll fir a roll cage so you can think it'll be track-worthy even with the extra 600kg of "massif subs" - bit of a contradiction there isn't there?*

Also - is it me or has he taken the handles off the back door to "make it look like a P1" ?

* I mean apart from the fact it looks terrible.

How do you know its a Cat B?

No mention in the ad.

Sweet zombie jesus, that is awful.
