How the bloody hell has he gotten away with that?
Were the DVLA looking the other way when he registered it?
or
has he simply modified a standard car? (can't think which!)

I reckon it was a std car at some point, pre 60's so doesn't need an MoT either.
There is something similar around here, sort of hotrod with a rusty open-top yub and no bonnet/front wings or indeed rear wings. Big V8 in it, looks
like something from the Adams family.
All is well until it goes tits-up and questions get asked.

So far as I understand it there is NO requirement in C & U regs to cover wheels & tyres - EXCEPT when it is wet, so if you are prepared to use
the car only in the dry & have a few arguments with the coppers then you're fine, tho' you should tell your insurance co. you've
made that modification unless it was built that way.
Re the "car" I'm guessing it's simply carrying the reg of the original chassis, tho' classing that chassis as
"unmodified" is stretching things somewhat, I think if it ever came to a VOSA stop & inspection he would be shafted
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

That other creation with the dome roof is clearly copied from Ed Roth's Beatnik Bandit....

that's stretching it a bit - I think the C&U regs say you must have wings in order to prevent mud and spray being thrown up - slightly
different 
ETA: (2) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (5), every vehicle to which this regulation applies shall be equipped with wings or other similar fittings to
catch, so far as practicable, mud or water thrown up by the rotation of its wheels or tracks.
