Four different shades of silver and some random text as the description.
These try ons are often exemplified by minimalist decsriptions and awful and minimal hoots. The vendors are hoping to catch a passing punter and the less said the better. Worth nothing more than scrap value IMO. If that.43034 said:

Indeed the DVLA information suggests this is a simple and straightforward process. It isn't in reality and registering four of five kit cars and modified cars a year has repeatedly confirmed the reality to me at some cost. Cars like the one detailed on here would be a real challenge IMO based on my experience of the actual process.
What problems have you had with registering a simple engine swap with the DVLA?eliot said:
Chargecooler not plumbed into water - so either the seller is an idiot or it was an early photo.
Most likely an idiot 
On a similar note I remember a young lad, who had a Mk1 Focus RS, asking on one of the Ford forums why his engine had expired. When asked whether the chargecooler system was working properly, he replied that it wasn't and hadn't for at least the last 3 months
But he was certain that wasn't the cause of the problem because "without water it would just act like an air to air intercooler setup"

Strangely the whole declaring thing also works in reverse
I recall a few years back on rovertech, guy put a 2.0 T series turbo in a series land rover in place of the 2.5 diesel engine. Declared it to DVLA no problems, then called his insurance company who reduced his premium as he'd redoced the size of his engine.
double the power and reduce premiums...oh well!

The same thing happened with a mates Celica GT4 powered Rav4. It was like a Paris Dakar car but cost less to insure than a standard one.

Fantastic in theory but "The car is registered as a 1600cc so cheap tax and insurance but it goes like a rocket ship"
