This probably fits better under this threadline, so it is a dual post.
I dunno, I have a '65 according to Norm and the Book but it says '64 on the
title. What do I have? The title kinda defines the year doesn't it?

Subject: [Tigers] 66 or 67?
I am in the same category as a couple of others here who have reported Tigers
that were manufactured in 1966 but titled as a 1967. In my case, I bought my
Tiger new in October of 1966 (it came off the Jensen line in August) but the
powers that be at the New York DMV decided it was to be titled as a 1967 and
it has always said so on my registration. When I and my Tiger moved to Maine,
I presented the NY registration at the Maine DMV and they registered it as a
1967. I guess I could have objected, but, then again, you probably have never
waited in line at the Maine DMV. Net result, I have a 1967 MkIA Sunbeam Tiger
which carries the license plate 67Tiger to tick the purists off even more. We
could have the same argument about a couple of Tiger II's that I have seen or
heard of over the years that were title as 1968's and everybody knows there
were none built that year. To me, the year is not the important thing, it is
whether it is a MkIA or a MkII. What you call things doesn't matter too much,
it seems to me. It is the essence of the object that matters. Of course,
having come by my surname by way of what genealogists call a "non-paternal
event" some 200 years ago, I am probably prejudiced.
