so this was a kind of "trick" to collect some requestd points afterwards? right?

No "trick" needed. No extra points needed either as all was in order and documented.
The V627/1 form requests the "Make of vehicle component".
Engine and transmission were listed as BMW and all other components were listed a Triumph. Just in case the car needed to be inspected, which some are.
I even gave the registration of the BMW donor car!!
On the back of the V627/1 under "additional notes or comments" I also gave details and photos of the engine/gearbox transplant.
AGAIN -- NO "TRICK" NEEDED, I just give DVLA what they were looking and asking for ie; tick-all-the-boxes and fill-in-all-the-spaces .
I will add that I have built, helped build, modified and registered many, many cars and motorcycles over the past 20+ years so do have a good working knowledge of the way DVLA works and the procedures which they follow, sometimes this experience helps.
