As I said in my previous email, 00001 and 00002 were assembled by
Rootes, not Jensen, and do not carry JAL tags, according to the
note in the SS catalog. In the pics I got for 00002, I could see
no JAL tag. Whether Jensen took into account 00001 and 00002 when
they began assigning JAL numbers to the cars they assembled, I
could not say. I have seen, in the past, many examples where
serial numbers and JAL numbers are not in sequence. My guess is
that Jensen was not at all careful with assigning JAL numbers as
they assembled the cars.<br>

<div>My JAL tag is 700008, my Serial Number is B382100105. If
the sequence is accurate the implication is Jensen built s/n's
B382100001 & 0002 in addition to 100 - 105. I'm assuming,
of course, that the JAL Tag shows the sequence of assembly AT
Jensen,,
