Steer well clear of anything that is incorrectly described on its V5. In other words, if you go to look at a Fury and it says
"Make: Fisher"
"Model: "Fury"

on the V5, it is probably kosher.

If, on the other hand, it says "Ford" and "Escort", you MIGHT (not definite as yet) have problems in the future. The most likely is that you won't be able to get it MOTd under the new computerised scheme and you'll end up having to put it through SVA all over again and will get a "Q" plate. The truth, however, is that nobody actually knows for sure what will happen!

There are a few kits that can, legitimately keep the donor's identity. These are kits that used the original and unmodified donor's chassis or body. typically, they include things like Beetle-based kits, 2CV based kits and Landrover / Range Rover based kits. (and maybe some Fiero and MR2 based "body conversions".
