Legally it needs an IVA as said. if you retain enough of the original car, or the donor you might get an age related plate.

Its not to do with kit cars, it applies to ANY car. One of the big problems is a lot of older cars wont pass now, so for instance take an old retro shell and weld it over a new chassis and it might fail on radius rules, or lower a car excessively and the headlights might be too low. All sorts to watch out for but so long as you build with your eyes on the manual youll be fine.
