Why waste time and money building a car like that if you are not going to register and insure it correctly

Still a grey 1461cc diesel on the logbook, also mileage dropped from 161k in 2019 to 73k in 2021.
Why waste time and money building a car like that if you are not going to register and insure it correctly
Another one i found whilst browsing Abarth Comps earlier this evening - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196285455371
2012 Fiat 500 1.2 running full 595 Abarth Comp spec but still logged as a 1.2 500 for the cheap £20-£35 tax rate, up to new owner to sort, etc
Evidently all the parts came from a genuine, non cat listed 595 Comp donor car that's now been stripped / scrapped for some reason but they claim they still have the reg plate and V5 for that car and they've declared it SORN - yet they don't want to notify the DVLA of either for some reason

1.2 Fiat 500 converted into an Abarth 595 Comp - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195698208491
And I thought my memory was bad.... idiot seller said:
Registered as a 1.2 pop so very cheap to insure and tax, only £30 for the year
Although it's currently fudged and not running - but evidently an easy fix if you believe the seller - i mean that must be true because he's desperate to point out in the ad that up until a few days ago it was still running perfectly fine Edited by AlexRS2782 on Thursday 6th April 23:59

Nope, memory is fine 
2 different cars - the first one (quoted above from a couple of pages back from early '23 & link no longer cached by eBay) was as per text a 1.2 pop and the current one i posted is a 1.2 Gucci. There's a few of those dodgy conversions around so not surprising to find one every few months (just like another one from late last year one page back).Edited by AlexRS2782 on Monday 11th March 17:07
