The seller should have declared it as a cat D - a bit naughty and not fair on you. Suppose they might turn round and say they didn't know either?
If you love the car then I suppose for 2 grand it doesn't matter. But does it bother you? Eventually you will have to spend some money on the car and if it you pains you (because of the cat D issue) then it could be time to let it go and get another one that hasn't been written off. If you're not bothered, then enjoy!

Honestly, I'd forget about it. Trying to get something back would add huge stress and may lead you no where.
Really, I'd "write this off" as a lesson learned for myself ... it happened; try not to make the same mistake again.
You've spent 2K, not disastrous, make the most of the car, make it nice and try and enjoy it. If you keep the car and don't sell, you lose nothing.
Most Coupes have a hidden history anyway, I bet many have been repaired and some most likely were kept off the insurance books when doing so.
Best of luck

Putting it down to experience includes learning from it. Next time it would pay to do a check first and then you know what you are buying. I wouldn't worry too much though, as Coupés have been written off for very minor damage. My current Coupé was/is a Cat C, but the damage was merely a wheel, tyre, wishbone and the tiny wing in front of the door. All easily repairable and for not too much money. Some people will look down their noses at a Cat C or D, but if you know the car and the work's done right, who cares. Only slight issue might be resale value, but I intend to keep mine as long as I am able. Put it out of your mind and enjoy your Coupé. I'm certainly enjoying mine.
