I quickly googled WTM 446 - 1959 Lister Jaguar coupe. The car appears to have been the subject of some dispute at some time.

edit: after further research...

Two cars supposedly were registered as WTM446

1959 open car Lister Jaguar owned by Bill Moss
1963 space-frame closed car raced at Le Mans by Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden

In a letter to the DVLA outlining the GT Prototype's history Doug Nye wrote: "My researches lead me to believe that - while the registration `WTM 446' - was first applied in 1959 to an open-cockpit Costin-bodied sports-racing Lister-Jaguar owned by Bill Moss - this registration was plainly transferred for the Le Mans 24-Hour race to the entirely different design `spaceframe' Lister-Jaguar Coupe co-driven by Peter Sargent and Peter Lumsden



More details here of the closed body (coupe) 1963.

The original open car registered WTM 446 also appears in "The Green Helmet (1961)"
