Default Don't have the registry but do have question about CSX3013

I was looking at a book at Autobooks/Aerobooks in Burbank
about Filipinetti Racing
and I knew about the Daytona coupe they ran but didn't know until I saw the book that they had CSX3013, they even show the bill of sale to the Swiss importer-dealer (somewhere close to $9500) It is the second time I have seen a plexiglass wrap around windscreen on a Cobra, the other wasn't really wrap around (on a very early 260 Cobra photographed on Ford's test track) so I was wondering if anybody else has ever seen pictures of this car so equipped. Also I typed the CSX number into Google and only came up with it failing to sell at a Brooks auction in Monte Carlo in the year 2000 and something in French
linking that serial number with the name Bernard Afchain, but since I don't speak French I am not sure if they were referring to the original car or a replica using the same SN.

I also saw a posting on a Cobra forum that said it had dry sump oiling but since that could be fitted aftermarket, that's not an automatic identifier (it may say that in the Bill of Sale, I'll have to look at the book again).

Anyway being partly Swiss, I am happy to see they ran one but it seems not at big events like LeMans.

(Yeah, I know, I should have the Registry. My book shelf isn't strong enough to hold it...)

Car was sold as a Comp, with a factory dry sump. It was red with white stripes, pipes and meatballs. The car was sold (and raced) with a STANDARD windscreen.

I don't know if it's the same pictures you're referring to, but I have some of the car wearing the full width plexi windscreen taken late '65 with Jo Schlesser driving. Shelby American offered the wrap around windscreen as on optional/over the counter item back then (shown in more than one old documents), although it's also possible that the one on that particular car was fabricated by the owner/team.
