Logbook

Just a quick question:
If I was to buy an old logbook from a locost, ideally pre-80ish, and it was SORN'd. Built a new chassis using the correct chassis number and also notified DVLA of an engine change in terms of cc and ID numbers. Could it then be insured, MOT'd and taxed without problems?

I know it would be tad naughty but is it illegal?

YES, it is a blatent method of avoiding IVA/SVA and a tonne of bureaucracy!!!

Thanks in advance for replies....

Illegal, but is it possible to do.

It would be for personal export purposes only. In France, cars over 30 years old are exempt from both the MOT and homologation paper-work. So would be rapidly put into the French system.

By asking a question about doing it on a public forum frequented by VOSA & DVLA bods. Not quite as admitting to already doing it on a public forum I was going to put up a link to theminiforum where a guy actually put he'd taken a 1998 shell & put 1971 chassis & registration plates on it. But it appears to have been removed.
