Spotted this when having a browse of Copart, not a bad looking 182 Cup. Interesting that it's down as a Cat B, but looks undamaged.

Interesting choice to out the battery on the boot. Looks okay to me as well.

That would be extreme.
What a waste that is. You see some bizarre CAT B stuff on there. It will be fairly cheap too I bet as only licensed disposal sites can buy a CAT B. Normal paupers like us can't.
It's defo an insurance job as the lot number is postfixed with an X, means its direct from insurance company. But then no damage, and the engine runs so its not ingested water. I can't see why that would be subject to a claim unless its stolen/recovered and they have categorised it as a breaker for...no reason?

I would agree flood. In a previous life when I used to categorised cars for total loss, flood could be anyting from B to cat D (that's how long ago it was) unless it was an anticipated health risk and then B. A was full fire or life lost. I specifically remember a merc which was totally repairable and based on the calcs was thousands off being even a cat D. As there was a risk of subsequent related issues when corrosion took hold it was categorised and sold. Remember it turning up as running and driving at copart, looked like this one but achieved good money so make sense in the end. Helphire companies which usually take on third party claims are usually over zealous with categorisations as they claim the loss back but this appears to be single vehicle claim.
B is also a way of ensuring there is no come back on the insurance company. Each insurer will be different with how they categorise vehicles and salvage rates they have with copart. For a car of this value there may be very little difference between a B and C salvage category so putting as B if flood wouldn't matter a great deal.

hi guys, i'm the new owner of this car, as i bought it of copart. ready for a story?
so i bought it, and 3 weeks later it showed up at my garage, it looked dirty, but actually mint, no rust at all.
so the dashboard is filled to the brim with invoices and bills. no kidding i can fill 5 eating tables (for 6 people) with all the invoices from reputable places.
so i spoke to all previous owners and came to know the story. apperently a van had hit the right door (dented and scratched) but it wasnt heavy at all. but since the doors are NLA via renault, it became a breaker. or so i thought, but actually i have the v5 here in the glovebox, so not a breaker afterall? anway i can register it like a normal car in holland with all the mot history. so i did just that.
Copart had nicked the badges off, drilled the fuel tank (to drain it), drained the gearbox, engine, brakeoil and coolant ( they just sliced the coolant pipe open).
so off i was to fix it all using spares i have. fixed in 4 hours. went to the RDW (mot in holland) station and got it checked out.
and now i have a 182 CUP with dutch licence plates.
feel free to ask some questions about it
