R reg is 77 so it's very likely to be an age related donor plate and maybe the DVLA screwed up the V5 paperwork - not unknown for pre SVA builds
where things were even more confused than now.
It says Locust (which is a plywood and ladderframe chassis 7 lookalike). So I suspect one of those has given up it's identity to a MK build.
I call ringer.

I have never seen the car it says from hull but i think its some one off here

i would say its a indy, but with the log book of a locust.
Mk use to make the locost do you think he has put [ locust ] and not locost by mistake
i like that he has put that there is so much he can say about the car, then says nothing at all about it

Hmmm.
Engine's an unusual choice - may well have come out of a Locust.
We've seen it all before - BEC MK crashed and reborn with an S2000 motor anyone?

Dont forget, you can call it whatever you like when you SVA.....
But, i think its a ringer, but id still probably buy it if i had the cash.
When was fiat twin cam first madfe? age related using the engine??
If not then its a ringo star,
Clearly a ringer. Obviously an Indy chassis etc from the description but registered as a Locust 
One car with the identity of another is a ringer - how can it be anything else?
People continuing to do this sh*t will only give us genuine builders a bad name and make it more difficult for us to put our cars on the road in the
future 
i reckon its the other way round, i think its a J&C Locust on a dead MK's papers. Ladder frame chassis with 3/4" marine ply body skinned with ALi, built one myself in the 80's. I think the hint is the width of the cappings on the body sides

Its worth mentioning that alot of locusts were re-chassied into book frames before SVA came in. My car was originally a Locust and was re-chassied in 1995.
id suggest ringer.
BUT, you are allowed to replace all parts if necessary, i just dont think you can use a different chassis from the wrong manufacturer.
Now he could argue that it was originally a locust, then previously rebuilt before sva onto a spaceframe, than more recently rebuilt onto an MK indy
chassis. This would not be far outside the law, maybe even legal.
However, id never pay £6750 for it even if it was legal!

Not a Locust all the wrong shape. I should know as I made one.
