when a car bitd was a valuable car or worth considerably more autoligned you could take it to autolign centre to have it checked for repairs and if passed reclassified on a hpi.
it basically means its been wrote off and a insurer has paid out but the car has been repaired to a high standard and fully checked by autolign and come off the v car.
because it still showed on a hpi in a differant way iirc it was condition inspected, i never bothered as you still knew it had been in a fire,flood,theft or crunch. then about 8 years ago maybe 10 they fucked the idea off.
i spoke to the main man at the biggest salvage company in the uk and he said autolign had stopped.
Neil don't think because of this you car is worth a carrot as youl just get vultures who will agree with you then sell it for proper money and if by some miracle sombody hpi's it they either play daft or say about autolign what i already said.
cozzies have history and a lot of them its accident but if its still a nice car it will sell.
i would rather have yours than a q plate.
