They had cages, fireproofed bulkheads plus blueprinted engines were allowed. Any sign of first two on yours? I guess it was possible for an unregistered car to be raced with false plates, then registered at a later date when sold. Sort of thing a dealer might do! As you say, cars all seem to have numberplates in pictures.
Good luck in your search for info, and if you are not in touch already, the AVO club Mexico registrar may be able to help if given the chassis number. His email addess is on contacts page.

it didn't have a rollcage in it when i bought it but when i fitted one there were existing holes so can only assume it did hve one in the past, also it does have a fibreglass rear firewall that is also over the rear tubs so was done propperly . Have now noticed that although it say's registered in 74 on the log book, it also has on the front that previously reg/and or used declared manufactured 1971. so i am now going to contact dvla to see if they can shed some light on it
