..." heres one for ya...my car didnt have the spec plate...and no holes
where it would have been. Why did some have it and some didnt?"...
There's some info on those spec plates on Norm's site ... quoting...
The large "specification plate" is only proper for Tigers with chassis
numbers beginning "B947".
This is the correct arrangement of ID elements for early 1966 MK 1s with
chassis numbers below "B382001200". The exact point at which a change
order eliminates the drilling of cowls for a "spec. plate" that is no
longer being installed, is still unknown.
( the picture shows a cowl with 4 rivets where the spec plate should be but
no plate...mine is that way... 000446 ... and all Mk1A's approx. after
001200 and the MKII's had no holes OR plate...)

........dont know about the missing B, but from what Ive learned about
identifying factory rivets, those certainly look original to me, I'm about
98%
positive that tag has never been off the car.

I finally got around to looking at the car. Yup, pretty rough. My car
VIN is B9471136 . The vin tag on this car does not have the "B". What's
up with that?
