That is fantastic since I have always wanted a 1957 vehicle to match my build date of 07/19/1957. We are both 50 years old. I had lamented that it was a 1958 on the title Which raises and interesting

My first Triumph was also oddly dated, titled as 61 and built in 60. As I understand it, this wasn't just because things were built at the end of the year to be prepared for unveiling in January. I b

Mine (and others) is the other way. The title says it is a year before the car was built. My number is TS74461 which puts it closer to the end of the run for 60s yet it was titled as a 59. Others ha

That's strange, to be titled the year before it was built. Perhaps it was swept into a temporal anomaly and appeared on a dealer's lot the year before the factory built it? Or perhaps sometime in the

That is true today. But up until the early 60's, there were no laws requiring that. Triumph dealers routinely sold cars as 'new', meaning the current (or even next) year's model, by simply altering

This wasn't a Triumph practice so much as a state DMV practice. The car is titled as of the first sale date. Some dealers/states went so far as to add small embossed plates to the VIN tag (such as t

The Triumph folks had a fix for that. They just changed the declared model year of the car to match the year in which it was first sold, so it was always a "new" car no matter how old it was. My TR3

My story is similar to Steve's even though our cars are 475 units apart. My TR3A, 68639L, was built on February 18, 1960 and dispatched to "Cal Sales Inc." in Portland aboard the good ship "Jean LD".

Evidence would seem to indicate that those were only put on cars that came through California and sold in the SW US. That's also very close to the time they started being put on, so perhaps yours sq

Perhaps that little tussle with Boney required all vehicles be pressed into service, even those what had been sitting on the lot for a while. Otherwise it might still have been sitting there in 1843.
