Neate had no cars ready and still got 2 grid slots while Chris James and his ES Racing actually had cars or AMD who had the extra S2000 Ford Focus but couldn't enter

If Chris James had the cars and the budget to run them then he should have got his entry in earlier before the list was full. I suspect that whilst he may have had the former he didn't have the latter. Given that the cars had been for sale since late last year I don't think there was ever any intention to enter this year.
At the point the entry was made Neate had a car in build and the sponsor to enter so easily meets your criteria, even if he subsequently lost that sponsor. If you mean that they actually need a completed car rather than just one in build then under that criteria the MGs would have been rejected last year as the first car was only completely literally days before the first meeting and the second car still being screwed together over the course of the weekend.
