I thought someone on here bought a cat b frs back from the insurance?always led to believe you need to be a registered breaker myself though?a lot of companies won't let you buy your car back even if it's really light whereas others sell you cat c's and help you with the vic check etc!!a lot of these insurance companies have cottonned on to the values of the salvage but again it's down to the individual firm so good luck with it all!!you could always be really nice to the assesor and tell him how much you love the car and want it back and he may decide to cat c it so you can then buy it back.explain the rarity of the parts etc and how much "sentimental" value the car has to you and that you plan to only really use it for parts he may make an exception,does happen.
