<font size=3>Andrew, what flavor of TR is it?<br><br>
My 74.5 TR6 which I bought new has factory OD and the number is CF+5
digits+UO suffix (that's "Oh" the letter, and not zero)-- as
expected.<br><br>
Oddly enough, I have another 74.5 without OD (which had 2 DPOs) , and its
VIN suffix is just the letter U, factory nameplate on the driver door
post as expected.<br>
However, somebody (not me) along the way had entered the letter V instead
of the U, so the pink slip is wrong and my insurance cards are also
wrong.<br>
I didn't notice this myself 'til a couple of years ago.<br><br>
There is a process in CA DMV to fix this, but it will require an
appointment with one of their inspector guys. When folks sell a
car, they usually write some information <br>
on the sales form by hand, and so that is likely how the U became
"like" a V. After that the DMV data entry person in
Sacramento interpreted and typed it as a V, I assume.

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I just went to get a title on a
TR which came with a factory overdrive. The old title appropriately
ended LO, but I was told that Os and Is are no longer acceptable in
titles. So I had to change the VIN (on the title) to L0.
Then I had to call the insurance company to explain the same story to
them and have them send me a proof of insurance with L0.<br>
<br>
Anyone else come across this? Maybe it has been going on for
years: I have 4 cars with overdrive, but this was the first factory
one.<br>
