Mark,
It is personal preference but let's say in my case the car came off the
Jensen line in early November 1966. Now the car is shipped to the USA and
came off the boat in late December 1966 or January 1967. It gets its first
showing to the public in 1967 at Larry Reeds Sport Cars in LA. I buy the
car in July 1967 and not knowing in the day it was made in 1966 I think it
is a 1967. I have always called it a 1967. So, what is the big deal? Just
because someone comes along with the manufacturing dates 40 years later I am
not changing what I call the car. It was new in 1967.
I tried to get a custom plate in California but any date I used with Tiger,
Cat, or any variation of spelling and date and combination thereof I was
refused. They stated that the names and dates were to similar to already
published plates.
So I went with the color code "ONEOSIX"
Ross "Commodore Blues" Hulse

Mine is the same way 66 registered in 67. But when you see 67 Tiger for
sale you expect it to be a 67.

Well, under that theory when we buy a 2010 Ford in December of 2009, what
do we have? We know the car was built in 2009, but it's titled as a 2010.
My MKl was registered as a 1967 Rootes. The registration got transferred
through the years that way. There was no way my DMV would change it. So my
registration says 1967 and my license plates say 66Tiger.

And all the people selling 66MK1 Tigers and saying they are 67's, cause
they were registered in 67. Don't they know what they have???
