However, I will try and answer as many of your questions as I can. <br/><br/>Registration certificates are not marked, the V5 will be as per any other car. However, the car will be recorded as damaged/repaired on the DVLA databaes. Additionally, please note all Cat C cars will require a separate VIC check - I've blogged about this is more detail. <br/><br/>Once a car has been recorded, as a Cat D or C, it is labelled as such permanently, there is no way the slate can bewiped clean. Unfortunately it is a damaged repaired car, and must remain as such as no matter how good the repairs, its still a car which has been deemed as un-economical to repair at some stage. <br/><br/>I hope this helps answer some of your questions. If you still need more information on exporting crash damaged cars, please let me know as I do have some contacts who do exactly this, and they will be more helpful on the DVLA regulations with exporting. <br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Wrecks to Riches Moderators Jaininder,

Please enlighten me on the following scenario :

- Salvage category C or D bought and repaired to perfection in UK, with intent to export

- Is vehicles Registration Certificate marked category C or D salvage, even after car is

repaired satisfactorily and deemed fit for use ?

- Need the Registration Certificate and any other document pertaining to such a vehicle to

be free of any mention of category C or D salvage ( for export )

- Are there any concessions by DVLA pertaining to good rebuilt salvage cars meant for

export to “wipe the slate clean” or remove any “black spots” from salvage cars whose

image is “tainted” ?

- Can a new set of “clean” documents be issued for a vehicle intended for export ?

- How do DVLA’s ( and other agencies ) rules apply to such a case ?

Your kind assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mr Jaininder
