Why is that car so cheap?
Google says: V Car = "Vehicle Condition Alert Register", does that mean it's a repaired write-off or something?

Googling yielded this on http://www.hpicheck.com/glossary.html
Condition alert
This register warns that a vehicle has been subject to an insurance total loss claim, or 'written-off', because of damage or because it has been stolen and not recovered. For vehicles written-off since January 1997, the HPI Check provides insurer damage classification from Category A to Category D ranging from those vehicles which should never go back on the road to those which can be safely repaired. Category A and Category B vehicles are not permitted back onto the road. In the case of Category C the vehicle will have to undergo a VOSA Vehicle Identification Check (VIC) to validate its identity. However the VIC does not check the safety or quality of any repair. There are no restrictions on Category D vehicles being repaired. etc etc

V car is the insurance write off register.
It will be Cat C or D.
Knowing that the chassis of the Vantage and DB9's are bonded and riveted I never touch one on V car.
Extremely difficult to repair and not some thing a body shop could do.
Plus you got no idea what the damage was or how it was repaired.
It's been knocking around for a while as a result!
