It was common back then to give a foreign car the benefit of the doubt when registering, assuming that the same car model would be produced the next year. In my case this was clearly an error because the MKII, introduced in '67, was not the same car as was produced in '66.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Will - 382001570 <br><a href="mailto:Tigers@embarqmail.com" target="_blank">Tigers@embarqmail.com</a></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 16, 2024 at 1:56 PM D or G at sbc via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:18px"><div></div>
