YES.
And it is well known that when the Tigers came in on the boats, they
were just parked in a warehouse, newer ones got in front of the older
ones. When the dealers ordered a red one, they just pulled the one
closest to the door... Lots of them got "delayed" in the back.
And, in the 60's, foreign cars never were sold as a particular year
model like the american cars. A '65 Tiger was just a Sunbeam Tiger,
just like a '66.

Jerry, it seems to have been pretty common practice back in the 60's to
register the car year as the year it was sold. I bought my Mark IA new from a
dealer in October 1967 and it was registered as a 1967 model. I have heard
similar stories from other Tiger owners over the years.

I noticed that this particular Tiger was built on the same date as mine
(April 1,1965), however it was registered as a 1966 model, where mine is
1965, can someone enlighten me?

Some of you
remembers this video from, maybe, two months ago. I found out tonight that
the Tiger is the same car that once belonged to a friend of mine and Al
Johnsons that I first saw and photographed 22 or more years ago, I just
didn't recognize it from the video. From Rhode Island, it was shipped to
South Africa to our friends brother, who apparently sold it to someone
there, who brought it with them when they moved to California, where upon
they sold it on eBay to the present owner in CT six years ago. Dr. Abrahams
mentions that other than the different motor, this car is original. You'll
notice that the shifter is a Hurst, and that most of the interior is black,
but the carpeting is blue, both items that the car exhibited when our friend
owned it and I photographed it years ago.
