Assuming you're making a twin engined 2cv using mainly 2cv bits, there's no real problem with DVLA - unless you want to change the V5 in any way - there's only space for one engine number anyway. If you did bring them into it, it'd depend on how much of the car'd been changed - we got our 4x4 to say "4x4" on the logbook and kept the original plate. Fairly simple process, if a bit drawn-out by bureaucratic incompetence rather than any particularly onerous regs.

MOT would just follow the normal rules.

Insurance might need an engineer's report, but that'd be down to the individual insurer. We never needed anything for the 4x4.
