Any thoughts appreciated - well specced, but cat D

I've had a look through to see if this is has already been discussed, but I can't see anything (apologies if I've missed it through simple muppetry).

I'm after a CSL at the moment, with a budget of £29k (my wife's already unimpressed by the steady creep up from 25). Looking through PH, I found this:

It has a cracking spec, including a lot of recent money spent and AP brakes. However, it is a repaired cat D (hence the lower price, I guess). I'm tempted to have a look, but slightly nervous about a cat D repair. The damage was to the rear right corner and has not affected the geometry.

On one side, this is a bargain with a great spec. On the other, it's a slightly unknown quantity and may be tricky to sell, insure etc. A dilemma...

What do you guys think? I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

I'd also be grateful for any tip offs of cars about to come onto the market or already out there that I may have missed.

Thanks for your help.
