This is what the DVLA say should happen as regards a rebody, called a kit conversion in DVLA speak...

Why not use the Reconstructed Classic regs?

The "Reconstructed Classic" route Does rely on a club V765 rep being happy to sign the car off as "a true representative of the marque" The original registration number would also be lost and replaced with an age related plate which does seem to bother a lot of people. I have one car with such a plate, but it's never been visible from the driving seat.

If the body type discrepancy is discovered by officialdom the registration usually gets cancelled, this has happened to a number of kit car owners where the V5C still has the donor's body type, so isn't a theoretical risk even if it happening is a long way from a racing certainty.
