I sometimes fancy a Ford Popular. I can never decide whether I would like it standard or hot-rodded.
Buy this it's registered as a 1962 Ford Pop Honest ebayer at least he admits it's a ringer & incorrectly registered.

Genuine questions:

What's a "ringer"?

How can a car end up registered so inaccurately?

If you buy it registered as a Ford Pop can you keep it registered as one, or do you have to fez up?

ETA: And does the boat on the roof affect registration?

If you changed the Engine in a Ford 'Pop' to say a 1500 twin cam it'll still be registered as a Ford 'Pop' if later you change the chassis it'll still be a Ford 'Pop' on the registration papers.

There was a lad in our village had an Anglia estate with a 3 litre V6 Capri Engine and Gearbox, no other mods like Wheels or a flashy paint job in fact it was a bit scruffy looking. Went like something off a shiny shovel though

A bit like "my great grandad's axe" or "Trevors Trigger's Broom"? (Thanks @raleighnut, I've been too long "overseas")

ETA: Found the clip:
