I thought i'd update this thread.
after a few PM's from people that seemed to know the car and the gentleman that built it, and showed me threads with a few things regarding it, i have declined to go through with the sale.
i think the nail in the coffin for it was when the DSVA got back to me on a few forwarded pictures, saying "from the evidence put forward, and which would form part of the cars provenance, it is doubtful it would pass an IVA test".
The DVSA and DVLA have been remarkably helpful with information and websites though.
I will continue with my search for a kit car project....more than likely along the lines of a Dino, of which i will let you know and start a seperate thread.
Thank you to everyone
