Hot Rod for Sale

[neilmorey]

I have saved searches on eBay and this listing came up for a 1956 car fitted with a Zetec. My search is for alloy wheels so often comes up with cars for sale.
Car is listed as MOT exempt which would have been correct pre-May as it is a pre1960 car but would the new buyer be able to drive it away given the tax isn't transferable and they won't be able to tax it as the major engine mods should mean it needs an MOT?

It looks like the perfect example magazines have given of a age previously exempt car no longer being exempt from MOT due to modifications.
