The bank was notified and it would also change the model year for the inventory they had financed. Thus, with a stroke of a pen, the new models had arrived. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr">The last mk1A was B382002706 and it was built right at the end of December 1966. They had already started Mk2 production at that point (in September? I forget, offhand) and those last 12 Mk1A were probably bodies that had gotten put to the side when they needed to get the Mk2 production going. Then someone realized that those bodies represented sunk cost and finishing them would put cash on the table. </div>
<div dir="ltr">Anyway, the ‘2400 range of Mk1A production was early enough in the year that some of them could have been shipped to the US and sold before the end of 1966. </div>

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.

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. . </span></p>
