Cat-B vehicles in the UK HAVE to be scrapped and no part of the shell/chassis/frame (structure) can be used, the destruction of such has to be 'evidenced'. I bought a CAT-B partner for some bits for the Frankenvan and used the Copart U-pull-IT facility up near York. They were so fussy about none of the bodywork going, we ended up putting parts stripped bare back on the pile, I wanted to bring the tailgate back as we ran out of time to strip it but they absolutely refused.
Also Alex's bike after his accident was oddly categorised as Cat-A by the insurance assessor meaning that NO PART AT ALL could be used and the machine was drained of fluids and crushed completely by the insurers. I din't think a Cat-A existed but I'm assured by my daughter it does and is strictly controlled. It does make sense as why else would you start with a B?
