And why assume the chassis plate on 2131 dates from 1963 (please!!)

So wasnt this car built as a development car for LeMans? Did Willment aquire the car straight from AC? I have not assumed that the photo that I have posted of the chassis plate is the original plate on 2131 at all ,as you and I know the car was not originally given a CSX chassis No.As Nedsel quoted that he has seen a similar plate of the other photo that I posted

I also took the photo at Donington last weekend ,
