"an original, unused factory base unit" So its not really a 72 car? he wont accept foreign bids anyway (and I dont think my wife would let me!!) but I know that it would be impossible to register here as a 1972 car.
Can someone explain to me the legalities in the UK of doing this?

It's not illegal to rebuild a car into a brand new bodyshell, or in this case, base unit. If you think about it, it's only the largest component of a car!
The only time that I can think you might hit a problem is if the old bodyshell doesn't get destroyed afterwards, and then someone tries to rebuild theirs into it, and then sends off for a log book. But I very much doubt this would happen.
I have to admit, that car looks lovely. I just hope the first three letters of the registration number aren't some kind of statement!

That's in my home town too. I've never seen it around though.
I may go over for a sneaky peek but I just know I'd be far too tempted!
Mine's not far off that sort of condition though really. Just needs bits and bobs and an MoT. I must get my finger out and get her sorted, and that has just spurred me on a bit!
