Nice Catch Doug. That of course was a typo. It is impossible for the first
car in 64 to be FC22683 when production ended in Dec. of 1963.

Dont you mean the mk1 ended in Dec of 64 not of 63.
My BMIHTC shows my mk1 of 36k was built on July 1964

Mike,
According to the BMIHT, The first car manufactured in 1964 was FC22683 and
Production of the Mk1 ended in December of 63 with the last one having
Commission number FC44656.
So your car was manufactured very early in 1964.
Where did you come up with the 44573 number? According to the BMIHT there
were on cars with Commission numbers between FC44657 and FC49999.
Regards,
Joe

The title lists my spitfire was a 1965 2dcv -- FC24119L
My research of just a few minutes via googling says this is actually an
early car in the 1964 run? Looks like that was:
FC22700-45753
My '75, I was able to figure out the original color. The car's in transit
to me this week -- the FC# isn't enough to figure out original color though,
right?
