well iv been in the repairing accident damaged cars for quite a few years and bought cat B's for parts a few times
and tried a few times to get them back on the road no chance has dvla ever let me do it
the add above says dvla has let him return a cat B to the road anyone ever got dlva to do this ?
 
I always thought it was only cat c or d's that would go back on the road cat b were for spares never repair and cat a are to be crushed the way they are.
 
Nice looking car but that's a bit of a funny one! Was always under the impression that you couldn't put a CAT B car back onto the road regardless!
 
either he has got it wrong and its not a cat b, or its dodgy

Cat C – Repairable salvage. Generally applies to older vehicles. Can be sold for repair but must now have VIC inspection.

Cat 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.
