Subject: [Tigers] Crossover body Mk1

I am restoring 1965 Tiger B9473202. It is what Norm calls a "crossover  
body" car. It has square cornered hood and doors and unfilled seams...but
the  
trunk lid has round corners and the upper quarters have filled seams, and it

has  the three-piece "hard boot" for the top. The door tops and the door 
panels  are the GT style like the Mk1a and the inside rear view mirror is
the 
larger  style like the Mk1a. Before purchased the car, I emailed Norm to be 
sure this  was "factory" and he was kind enough to assure me the car was 
indeed correct and  was built that way. Apparently, it left Jensen April 1, 
1965. Other than Norm's  assurance (I have not heard or seen any reference
to 
these transition bodies.  Does anyone have any insight? Does anyone know
what 
VIN was the first in the  series? 
    I'm just trying to educate myself about this car  and have been 
surprised to have found nothing written about the crossover  bodies. This
must be a 
fairly obscure (or at least little discussed) variation  on the Mk1 cars. 
Does it have any significance on the car's value one way or the  other?
    You guys have really gone out of your way to help  with the questions I 
have asked. I am grateful and impressed!
    Thanks!
    Zach
