It's never been welded ive got pics somewhere of the underside when we did the restro, I've never been satisfied with what I've been told of why it's a cat d, the guy I bought it from said it was stolen then recovered and the insurance paid out to fix the door locks and steering lock ect, but another guy off here who owned it before him said it was never stolen and it was bashed on the NSF and the wing and bumper was replaced, when I did that reg checker thing it sait it was stolen so really fuck knows what happened to her in a previous life, all I can be sure of is it's mint now, all the glass is etched with the reg number and the floor number has never been tampered with, I paid £5900 for it in 2007 and have spent a small fortune on it as is the way with these cars, the reg is D994KBO if anyone has the ability to find anything out, would be appreciated , I've no plans on selling it soon it was more a matter of curiosity more than anything else
