They are both classifications of insurance write offs. Not as scary as it sounds as due to the cost of repairing thme insurance companies write cars off for minor damage if the cost of repair excedes a certain proportion of the cars overall value.
Cat C is a higher level of damage than Cat D. I've seen Cat D cars been written off just needing a replacement wing and a light.
Cant believe someone who claims to have been in the motor business like harley doesn't know something as basic as that.
A little more information for harley the yank, who is too dim to realise he's on the UK site spouting nonsense-
