I've often wondered about their registration process myself. It possibly falls into the 'Get an age related number plate' category below -

...meaning that so long as you use at least two major components, engine, gearbox, rear axle perhaps from a donor Jag and fit them to a brand new chassis you can get a plate that reflects the age as the donor components. I guess it needs IVA though.
