Unfortunately I am unable to get the pics off my iPhone onto the PC to upload.

If you want to send the pictures to me, I'll upload them for you 

I can send you a PM with my number.

There's actually no reason a cat b can't go back on the road, it's an insurers classification of economical repair cost and nowt to do with the dvla at all. Can be Vic checked and reused if you so wish !

Nope, once declared cat B, it can never go back on the road, but can be used for spares. C and D can, upon passing a VOSA inspection. Cat A can't even be used for parts.

Sorry TB  but DVLA and insurance man with a clipboard are two completely different entities and the latter has no ability to declare anything not able to be put back on the road, the former also can't refuse to issue a V5 if the car has passed a VIC and an MOT.

See the thread below of a cat B E55 merc going back on the road, page 4 on

Granted, but an uninsured car cannot be driven on UK roads. And a Cat B cannot be insured (or if somehow wangled it due to a cock-up somewhere, would be classed uninsured) by any insurer who is a member of the trade body, ABI.

Thanks Josh,unfortunately, despite the many best efforts of Vodafone, I have never been able to send pics with the iPhone in the 2 years I've had it, I hate the damn thing, it has a mind of its own. Yesterday, sitting on my desk, switched off (not completely), no-one touched it, and it started playing a music track, another time it phoned someone without any input, go figure.

Dropbox is your friend. Register, its free for 2GB's

Install App on your phone, then install little program on your PC/Mac. You get a special folder in your PC, any photos you take on your iPhone or Android device are automatically uploaded.

Great way of backing up too 

Don't have to do anything

Err..they can be insured as was the vehicle in the thread and various others about, if it passes an MOT it will be deemed fit for the road and be insured.

So a Cat C or D can be resold for road use?

Readily the current Category C marker on mine is the result of three stonechips... it is still insured/taxed/Motd, but will require a VIC should I ever sell it, presumably even if sold for scrap

[omegod]

Yup and there is nothing to say a cat b cannot as they all have the same VIC marker on that requires a vehicle identity check to gain the v5, that is all that is required, even the original pre accident/damage MOT is still valid but it's obviously wise to get another done.

The issue in this case might be that the scrapyard have already declared the car as scrapped to the DVLA, in which case, that's the end of the road for that car you saw

[joff]

Which yard was it in, and was it saloon or estate

you don't need another one

Tooooo late got a 2.6 saloon CDX today

Unfortunately, the photos don't show the condition, but I could not see a blemish on the bodywork, and it was confirmed not flood damaged.
