If they're just after the VIN, that makes more sense to buy them. You can put the VIN on a car built from old stock and the car will count (for legal purposes) as the same car it was when it was built. At least you can do that here in the US. Those are likely in the UK, so the rules may be different.

One caveat is that the car can never be newer than the VIN. So, those would be around 1968 or so. They could put together parts from a 1972 made from old stock and then the car would still be a '68. It can never be newer than the original VIN.

This exchange of ViNs would need to be documented and disclosed at sale.

Do you really need an E-Type VIN though? I know Eagle is making brand new E-Types, and I do not think they use old VINs

Need? Not at all. However, it's a marginally more valuable thing to have.

If you can say you built an E-type with old stock and found a VIN, maybe using the original engine block or some other component, then it has a tie with the original and so adds a tiny bit of credibility and tiny bit of value.

Car collectors are weird.

I wouldn't buy one in my position. I'd just buy a real one.

Oh, wait... I have! In fact, I'm pretty sure I own two of 'em. Wait, no... No, I know I own two of them. I have so far only driven one of them any real distance. I have driven both off and onto a trailer to get them from where I temporarily stored them to my estate after the barns were built.

yeah a real one would be better
