[Tigers] MkII VINs

[Tom Parker]

Ron,

My JAL tag is 700008, my Serial Number is B382100105. If the sequence is
accurate the implication is Jensen built s/n's B382100001 & 0002 in
addition to 100 - 105. I'm assuming, of course, that the JAL Tag shows the
sequence of assembly AT Jensen,,

Tom
'67 Mark 2
