If the build quality is ok it would be a bargain. Especially as it's on Q plate...  ;)

It means that the DVLA are aware that it is a Trike or has been modified and therefore you won't get a nasty surprise when you take it for an MOT and they say Eh hum Mr But our records show this to be a reliant saloon and a few weeks later you get a letter from the DVLA saying please come in for an inspection.

Then, if they decide it's not what the logbook said then you have a prohibition notice slapped on it and it's off for an SVA!

Please note though even with  a Q plate you should check the V5 (logbook) carefully just to make sure the description and VIN match!
