No but i am off looking now 
I'm generally against Cat D's except in this instance it's a winner. Light damage and doing the work yourself makes it economically viable and known quality of work.
Hang onto it for years and makes a perfect way to get into an ///M at basement price.

Exactly thats the plan
also in my experience your more likely to get a more honest car if you buy one crashed! I've had a couple of repaired cat ds both have been bodged and even my unrecorded ones have had bad repairs (most ppl wouldn't spot) but now ive had 2 cars that I've bought accident damaged which I can repair properly without bodging and the rest is faultless. So out of all the cars I've had the crashed ones have been the most honest if that makes sense? :lol:Apparently the jag engine had a top end rattle (vvt?) And the previous owner had an engine lined up, removed the old engine then the sale fell through. We happened to have an engine for it

Well its only a good idea if you can fix it yourself otherwise it wouldn't be financially viable. Hense insurance company not paying to fix it! But yeah this car was a bargain as we took a gamble and its turned out well given the damage.
You must have some vision from the initial pics I'd have thought no way can that be repaired but you've proved me wrong, remove the damaged parts and it looks a different prospect, my hat goes off to you, looking forward to seeing your progress

My dad has done this sort of thing for many years haha. We didn't even view it as it was right at the bottom of the country we just took the gamble! But yeah as soon as the panels were removed youican see its perfect. Ive got a pic with both the door and wing off I'll post it in a bit
