First of all a hell of a long time since i have posted on here, (Long time lurker/reader)
But just noticed this GTT On a salvage site and cant help but think i recognize the car from the forums or somewhere else?
Such a shame by the looks of it, anybody know what happened?

Found it... Bubbles bombe, Bit of an update in his build thread when he smelt fuel, and it burst into flames :/
Such a shame!

I wonder if Geoff (the owner) is aware of that site?!

Probably not, but unless he owners a breakers yard he won't be able to bid as it is cat b.

I have an account with copart but again can't bid as it is cat b

Surprised he let them have it as im sure he did the work himself?

To my knowledge with salvage/breakers once insurance has paid out obviously its theres to do with what they please. Cat D or C can be bought back by the owner before the insurance company use a site like Copart or HBC To try recover what they can. Only licenced breakers can buy Cat Bs from auction and sell parts, Cant be used on the road again. Cat A is scrap value only as im sure people are aware.
Im sure he was happy with the payout as Pre accident value was 17k, Which is what they pay out i assume...
Shit to see, Hell of alot of spares left in that car though, Engine will go again!

He probably didn't have a choice as it is cat b he wouldn't have been able to buy it back.

All the work was carried out buy RSP , think there call bell auto now . Bubble spent a fortune on this car. His whole family are big gts/gtt fans . Richard Bell might be able to give a better spec history on this car if anybody is interested
