Andrew, what flavor of TR is it?
My 74.5 TR6 which I bought new has factory OD and the number is CF+5
digits+UO suffix (that's "Oh" the letter, and not zero)-- as expected.
Oddly enough, I have another 74.5 without OD (which had 2 DPOs) , and
its VIN suffix is just the letter U, factory nameplate on the driver
door post as expected.
However, somebody (not me) along the way had entered the letter V
instead of the U, so the pink slip is wrong and my insurance cards
are also wrong.
I didn't notice this myself 'til a couple of years ago.
There is a process in CA DMV to fix this, but it will require an
appointment with one of their inspector guys. When folks sell a car,
they usually write some information
on the sales form by hand, and so that is likely how the U became
"like" a V. After that the DMV data entry person in Sacramento
interpreted and typed it as a V, I assume.
