[Tigers] MkII VINs

[Tod Brown]

Actually, there were two MkII's assembled by Rootes before production 
was turned
over to Jensen. They carry serial numbers B382100001 and B382100002 but 
no JAL
numbers. The Jensen run began with B382100100 and ended with ...633. See the
note in the SS Catalog:

MARK II PRODUCTION NUMBERS VARY. CARS WITH
SERIAL # B382100001
AND #B382100002 EXIST WITH NO JAL #’S (JENSEN ALPINE LTD. BODY #)
WHICH INDICATES THE CARS WERE COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED BY ROOTES,
NEVER GOING TO THE JENSEN PLANT AND MUST HAVE BEEN A PRE-
PRODUCTION PILOT CARS. THE NEXT MK II IS B382100
100 WHICH CARRIES
A JAL NUMBER, THE FIRST OF THE MK II SERIES.

There were also six (IIRC) MkIA's fitted with the MkII mechanicals (289 
block, wide-
ratio trans, modifiedWatts linkage, etc.) but were badged as MkIA'sat 
the end of
the MkIA run at Jensen.
