Can anyone check in their 'Original TR4/4A/5/6' book of Piggott's for the
VIN of the first 250 built in 1968? He gives that sort of information there.
What I'm a little curious of is - was the TR250 considered a 1967 'Model
Year' car in North America, or just 1968? It's true that the model,
calendar, and registration years don't all necessarily match (my own early
3A was built in the fall of '57 as a '58 model year but not registered in
Ontario until 1959 - go figure!). Afaik, the 250 was 1968 only. Cheers, JD

John
Good question. Apparently the build date and date they were tagged
as were
often different depending on when the dealer got it off the lot. I
suspect
that yours was built in '67, but only because I think mine was built
very
early in '68 (CD2807 L). Sure would like to know the number for the
first
one built in '68. (One of these days I gotta get off my duff and get
the
build certificate.)
I'd be interested in what you find out.
Good luck
Mark

Hello All My 250 vin# is CD 1184 L. Should this 250 be tagged as a
1967
and
not a 1968 TR-250?
Thanks John Flintstone, GA
