The rules regarding written off cars:
Cat A - Total write off/scrap only = Dismantler must scrap all parts and the body. Nothing can be sold on.
Cat B -Total write off/scrapbody sell parts only = Body must be scrapped but parts can be sold on.
Cat C - Structural write off = Car can be repaired and put back onto the road but only after the car is certified OK by a relevant automotive engineer. Obviosly the body and parts can be sold. Log book will be provided.
Cat D - Economical write off = Financially not viable for insurance company to have repaired (using new parts). Car can be repaired and put back onto the road does not need to be certified OK by automotive engineer. Obviosly the body and parts can be sold. Log book will be provided.
The above may not be exact but I think a fair representation of the classes.
I went for the last option for my donor. Which I must say is not the most economical for building a kit car.
