I am in the process of buying a restorable 1966 (manufacturing date)
Tiger MKIa via the original owner.  The original Ohio title 
says the car was sold 11/67 and it is titled as a "1967
Rootes-Tiger."  I am concerned about the discrepency 
between the title versus the manufacturing date.

The car doesn't appear to be re-badged, and the 
VIN, JAL, tranny, rear end numbers check out.

Suggestions?  The young lady at DMV in Ohio, birth date 
1970, isn't sure what happened, but believes the car is 
titled as a 1967 because it was manufactured in late 1966
and sold in 1967.  Do I believe this story or not?
