Some states allow a salvaged car to be registered and  some don't. 
Thus you will find a bunch of cars that have had flood damage or  hail 
damage sent to states that allow sale of salvaged vehicles.  As you  say Jim, 
each state has a different set of rules.

Listers;
In our state a salvage title has a specific meaning  alluded to in the
write-up.  For the State of Missouri a vehicle is  titled as salvage after 
an
insurance company pays a settlement and decides  the car is not worth
repairing.  This does not mean the car cannot be  repaired, it means that it
is beyond the costs to repair the company is  willing to pay.  Following a
salvage title applied to a particular  VIN, it can be removed, at least 
here,
if the car is repaired and the car  is re-titled with a note as "previously
salvaged" and on later titling  dropped from being listed on the currently
issued title.  It is still  in the history that state retains.  I have
experience in this, not  with any Sunbeam product.  Here the value damage is
estimated by  approx 25 percent of book value depending on the job completed
to repair  the car.  Sorry this is so lengthy but check you state  rules
especially with an auto recycler to see about removal of 'salvage'  for the
title to see if it is possible.
How do I know this, I am  currently working with my restorer to complete my
Mark 1a, no salvage  title, and he has extensive experience repairing and
re-selling cars and  lets perspective buyers know the truth.  This has been
my experience  here over the years.

Might be ok in some sites in USA, would make it  VERY hard to export a
car without a title. I know you would struggle to  bring it down under
as anything other than a "parts car"... and seems so  many Tigers have
made their way down under in the last couple of  years.

All this said,, does anyone know why the car became a "salvage  title"?
Was the car written off by an insurance company some time back?  How
seriously was it damaged?

I guess when the cars were cheaper the  likelyhood of repair costs vs
value for an insurance co would have made  them likely to write off a
lightly damaged car that now we would consider a  straight forward
resto.
