I'm not a Registry salesman but in my humble opinion, it's remarkable value for money! But then I would say that...plus it offers further advantages since it can be used to prop doors open, squish huge spiders and save the cost of buying a stepladder. It's a bargain with a thousand uses!

The Willment (CSX2131) coupe was built on a spare un-numbered chassis, so Willment called it 2131 which offered certain tax and import advantages when shipping the car to overseas races....best to not ask about that ;-) It was registered 39PE but in South Africa was registered 39PH. Again, don't ask. He built it as Shelby was not prepared to sell a Daytona. By accident, the low roofline was more in keeping with Peter Brocks orginal idea.

Hope that's cleared up all kinds of confussion - no doubt a few owners confussed the history of their cars to Sir Ned whilst compling the registry ? :-) Should you need to confuss anything Ned, this is the forum to do it - all friends here and glad to help!!
