[Tigers] Tag on Tiger on BAT

[D or G at sbc]

 Yes, the Calif. DMV did, or still does, go by the registration date. Have a 1942 Jeep that stated it was 1950.

1st – no idea on the brass tag – one would think it should have something stamped on it.

Yes the vin tag is near the end of the MK 1A Tigers build.

  

I have been told that back in the day Tigers had registration dates according to year they were 1st register in the states not by the year the Tiger was built.

I don’t know about the tag on the fuel line, but the date the car is advertised as a 1966 does not go with the vin number.  The B382 is  for a Mk 1A is it not? Rivets look OEM also.  My 1966 (registered in Ventura CA in 1966 as it was sold new and the vin on it is B9471136 and I am the second owner having purchased it used in Santa Maria, Ca in Jan 1967 second hand (yeah, have owned my car since then never changed hands and has always been registered).  This car also has the long shifter as well which I think does go with vin number, But somebody smarter than me could check that out. . 

  

Interesting that a small brass tag can generate some curiosity, eh?

Watching the Tiger on BAT?  The owner says it had a brass tag on the fuel line from new and he and his dad have never known what it was.  Anyone know?
