I found this

Written-off vehicles

4. At present vehicles written-off by an insurer are subject to a voluntary Code of Practice agreed between the insurance industry and salvage dealers (the Code). Under the terms of the Code, vehicle salvage is classified in various categories, generally depending on the extent of damage. Categories A and B are generally so seriously damaged that they should never be returned to the road. Category C applies where the salvage is repairable but the repair costs exceed the pre-accident value. Category D salvage is repairable though the vehicle is still written-off by the insurer in order to minimise overheads during the repair period, for example.

It maybe of some help to you. The car does sound a touch expensive though.
