IF that 036 is the basic F1 roadcars chassis number and it became #01R....
How this chassis number thing went back then?
Directly from DA's chassis history:

Quote:
V.I.N. numbers 019, 026, and 027 were replaced by 01R, 02R and 03R. 019, 026 and 027 together with numbers 030, 032, 034, 035 and 041 have never been allocated to any F1 Road Car or derivative.
The later GTRs were directly named to their respective xxR-chassis numbers. So that 036 does not match any of the GTRs. The road car 036 was in the making during the 1995 so it might have been that at that point of time when the video was made. Maybe someone more knowledgeable on the road cars could provide better info on that.
