[TR] Build date question?? (1971 TR6)

[Bob]

Joe,
You could be right. 
We need more folks with 1971 year and BMIHT Certificates to chime in here. 
What dates do they have?
I don't know production numbers for 1970 and 1971.
I read somewhere that specs for 1970 and 1971 TR6 were exactly the same,
but?
Bob

I am not specifically familiar with the TR6 plate issues, but relating to
Spitfire commission plates, those dates are typically referring to the date
the model specification went into effect and not the actual build date.

Alan,
I have CC58110L. Built 28Oct70. 
Car was sold in Sept 1971 as a 1971, I have the sell ID plate and Heritage
Certificate..
So they built at least 3370 cars in October 1970??????
Something smells funny.
Regards,
Bob

Yesterday, I bought a 71 TR6, at least according to the title.

My friend  is puzzled by the build date.

The vin plate on the door says it  was built in Oct of 1970 and he's puzzled
by the vin CC54740 LO.

The title say CC54740 LO, the plate on the windshield says the same , but
the plate on the B post is just CC54740 L, no O; but the car has O/D.

Is it possible it came through this way, or did someone replace the plate
and leave off the O ??

It seems that CC54740 should have been built before October of 70.

Al
