Hello all,

Well, this is one of those either 'love 'em or skip 'em posts'.  I'm a
prospective owner of my 1st Tiger, and I do need some help.  For some
background (that you may want to skip), I'm 55 years old, and my neighbor
had a Tiger when I was in junior high.  My designated spot was behind the
seats, and I spent many an exciting mile there!  Lo and behold, I've found a
Tiger lurking in a garage not 2 miles from my home.  It's had a new
interior, new top, and new paint.  I've had my mechanic check out the frame,
and he said it's solid. So I'm ready to buy.

Now I'm trying to determine the year.
The serial# is B9472064, which I thought put it as a MK 1 1965, but the
owner swears it is titled a 1966!

There are a few other sets of #'s I don't understand.  On the Vin plate
inside the hood on the passenger side, up by the windshield, is
                              B9472064   LRXFE
Below that is                  3303     S27KA
Below that, between the numbers is  58

Another plate, next to this one, had JAL 561359.

On the engine plate is again, 3303-S27KA
                    also C4P Z6001-OF (?)
                    option 502632     (?)
These engine plate numbers may be off, as it was getting dark and I didn't
have a good light.

Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Don W.
Hopeful future Tiger owner.
