TR3 Chassis numbers

["McEwen, Art" <Art.McEwen@moh.gov.on.ca>]

There's a TR3 on ebay right now (Item number: 2461259666) that's advertised
as a '61 with a VIN number in the 47000 range, yet my '60 has a VIN in the
high 64000's.  I know the vins aren't sequential through model years because
of old stock etc.. plus that's US car and mine is Canadian (so that may mean
they were warehoused on 2 different wharves) but that's nearly 20,000
backlog!  Can they both be right?

 

PS, I don't mean to sully, tarnish or diss the anonymous ebay vendor.  Just
curious
