Is it legal to sell a vin plate, V5 and chassis?

Hi Folks,
Noticed a few people selling vin plates, V5 reg docs and chassis as combos.
Is this legal in the UK?

Hi

I am not a lawyer, but yes it must be. I know with our cars the identity is in theory with the body, but you are essentially buying/selling a car with some parts missing.

I would happily buy a chassis with a V5 and get a body later or put it under an existing one.

All the best

I dont know the detail of the UK law but i suspect that technically the identity follows the body plate and registration documents as long as they are genuine. The subframe / chassis,engine, body etc are all replaceable parts and as long as they are of the original type do not affect the registration.
