Rootes used what was available from their suppliers. There weren't many factory installed options. White walls, sunvisors, hardtop etc. Most all of the factory options could be dealer installed. So everyone was dependent on what was supplied to them. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">The clock thread began because some of us don't believe that a 3030/00 exists. I believe it was a typo in an article and people have run with it. Even gone so far as reproducing the clock face with those numbers. My thought are it should be 3131/00 for early Tigers and 3131/01 for later one. I would like to see a picture of a clapped out 3030/00.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jim D</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000" dir="auto"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: clyde mclaughlin via Tigers <tigers@autox.team.net> </div><div>Date: 5/12/20 4:35 PM (GMT-05:00) </div><div>To: tigers@autox.team.net </div><div>Subject: [Tigers] clocks </div><div><br></div></div>
<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I have watched all this clock talk for over a week now, I maybe missing something but my understanding was that the clock was a dealer installed accessory, not installed at the factory, am I right or wrong?? That being said, if the clocks were in fact dealer installed then couldn't you have an early clock installed in a late car depending on the dealers stock, or when stock was ordered from Rootes warehouse who's to say if it was always shipped out on in the order of production or receipt from supplier. I don't know which clock I have because I'm presently not where my car is to ck it out, I do know it has been converted to quarts and keeps perfect time, Clyde</div>
