Taken from VOSA's site:
Vehicles that have been rebuilt using a mix of new or used parts
In order to retain the original registration mark:
cars and car-derived vans must use:
The original unmodified chassis or unaltered bodyshell (i.e. body and chassis as one unit - monocoque); or a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original supported by evidence from the dealer or manufacturer (e.g. receipt).
And two other major components from the original vehicle - ie suspension (front & back); steering assembly; axles (both); transmission or engine.
So you'd need a new shell and some proof of it being a new shell of the same spec (im sure this is where the likes of the rsoc
should come to your aid in the case of a RS being kept alive?)....saying that its a 909 shell so dunno what may be different in specs to standard?
