But In line with much discussion on this subject here and elsewhere, what are the ethics involved in applying for a V5, or other national registration, when all you have are numbers? I this case you would have a matching engine of course, but an engine alone does not define a car. Never has.
I'd have to say I think its unethical.
It would be a way of by- passing systems like IVA, which have important road safety purposes after all , at best and have fraudulent implications at worst.

It has a gearbox too so in the old days didnt this qualify as a substantial part of a donor to go on a replica.....???

For points towards keeping an age related or donor registration when you built a kit car from a donor, instead of having a Q plate. Yes, that went on.
I don't think it would justify obtaining a V5 when you've never had the original car.
