There are many possibilities about the order of these cars. When
the Vin plate was installed and when the JAL # was applied. Another
possibility is the shipment of the bodies. The bodies are organized and
packed for shipping. The next plant unloads the body, in the same order,
reverse order or random. Bodies could be warehoused, staged for assembly
or immediately sent to assembly line. The order of the bodies can become
very jumbled when look at from this point of view. The main point here is
that we were not there to see how the process flowed and we do not know it's
many nuances. What we know is the discontinuity in the numbers which we do
not understand.

Subject: [Tigers] More insight into "Crossover" Mk1 cars
I am still trying to make sense if the bits of evidence I have regarding
the sequence Crossover body Mk1 cars. I have Tiger B9473202 with JAL 562772.
I have heard from the owner of B9473187 that his car like mine has square
door corners and both cars were finished by Jensen on April Fools Day 1965.
I have also heard from the owner of B9473317 (presumably built after April
1. 1965) that his car has round door corners. A wise person on the list has
reminded me that Jensen received the bodies a already painted from British
Pressed Steel and that the JAL number is perhaps a better indicator of the
sequence of body production. So, does this explain the apparent
flip-flopping of body features, or is it more likely explainable by cars
getting
pulled from the line for repair and thus delaying VIN assignment?
Thanks!
Zach
