Certain large crash repair centres have relationships with insurance companies that allow them to buy cars from them prior to the car being officially labelled. This is what I've been told from someone I race with who has such a repair centre in the North. It sounds unethical but in the instance of this car it really shouldn't have been a Cat-D. That said I'm looking for such car and the story with this one now puts me off, I'd hate to of bought this car and then found this thread. The car itself looks good obviously but lots of owners for such a car and a story that doesn't reflect well on its history. By the way how did the gain entry?

I can't see the mileage discrepancy though?
