They're pretty hot on this stuff - moral of the story is don't do the wrong thing and you won't have to worry about the consequences.

To answer your question: basically no. They will determine it is never to be registered again and will keep track of a number of details that they won't let be registered again (for example your engine number will also be black listed).
This is nasty...BUT there are a lot of shonkey mods on all sorts of cars on historic and club plates. It is one of the big things that makes the rms take such actions and develop a negative attitude to "different" cars.
