I would recommend the BMIHT Certificate as it gives you much more
information about the construction and original configuration of the car.
My TR6 has November 1974 on the commission plate (start date?) but a build
date of December 1974 (finish date?) and a shipping date of January 1975 on
the certificate. It would have arrived at the US dealer about March and
sold sometime later, presumably as a 75 model. It is now registered as a
74 model based on the commission plate. Which is correct and who cares?
It is still the same car and, to the extent that the records are reliable,
the commission number number provides the most useful information about
replacement parts, etc.
