Hmmmm.
The Paramount chassis` are all accounted for and were 'COB 6***'
If it was a Frua(428)the chassis no.
should be 'CF/CFX **'
The only other oddball series of numbers were some prototype electric vehicles, which were 'EFX 5**'
The whole point of using an old or damaged AC is to keep the chassis number, not create something different!
If it was built by Brian Angliss, it would normally have a 'COB/CSX' number; although buillding Cobras in the early 70`s, Angliss wasn`t 'AC' until much later, and
NEVER at Thames Ditton!
I`d be intrigued to know the dates on the 'build correspondance', as there`s no mention of when this car was made.
You can get those blank AC Chassis plates quite easily, and it even looks like that one still has the protective plastic film on it![:I]
They have been very careful not to show any suspension parts... that could be quite revealing...(is that a billet bracket at the front?)
There`s a good reason that this car isn`t in the SAAC registry, the ACOC chassis register or any other place for that matter... [

So, in brief,* it looks like a nice car,
could possibly have been built by Angliss/Autokraft, (using 'MX' chassis no. to hide the AK one, maybe?)although more likely is of Polish/Utah origin.[

At best, the description is inaccurate, at worst, fraudulent, and whatever it is, it`s WAY over-priced!
*In my very own humble opinion, of course.
