Sold to finance a house move, the car still exists. How much remains of
what started out in 1956 is unknown but I changed the engine/gearbox,
front brakes, wheels and the ladder chassis. My insurers seemed
unpeturbed at the time but I suspect vehicle legislation has moved on..


The chassis tends to be the key one. If not a genuine new spare and you
inform the DVLA, you'll likely end up with a 'Q' registration. If
secondhand, you will be given the donor car number.

The SD1 world has lots of this - a 'desirable' but rotten version being
re-shelled with one from a good condition lesser model. And then claiming
to be the 'desirable' one.
