as said yep..you could end up with new chassis no stamped into the turret..starting with the dvla issue someting like *sabtvro******. then the value of its fooked as its not even a cossie number on the shell and will prob just say ford sierra on the book

i have had cars under a year old that have been reshelled in ford bodyshops and the original number stamped into them...do you think they contact the dvla?...errr nope!
