In those days, even if not quite legal, it really didn't matter. Now it does.
It's could be no better than a kit car with a dodgy registration history in the eyes of the DVLA.
Whoever owns it or will own it in the future is unlikely to have any problems though. It has an established identity even if it is, as I say, somewhat dodgy initially.
Great detail knowledge by the way!
Yes, you mean the chopping and changing of IDs back in day isn't helping to establish the car as being pukka today?
This car is the opposite of some of the 'works' Minis and Escorts that exist only on paper, but have come back to life. For example, there is no disputing the copper bottomed provenance of the three Monte winning Minis currently on display in Gaydon museum, but there are a good few 'log book only' works Minis out there. People who know, know which is which, but you're a brave man to start pointing the finger. People get very upset, even though they've really no right to.
