Ron,
The early commission plates did indeed state April 1, 1968 however this was
not a build date like on the later 1970 model post CC50001 commission
plates. The date on your plate is the date when the vehicle complied with
the applicable Federal Safety Standards. Later 1969 TR6 stated January 1,
1969 as the date when the vehicle complied with the applicable Federal
Safety Standards. I have attached copies of three images which will
hopefully explain the differences, apologies to the rest of 6pack who won't
be able to see the images.
Cheers
Derek

Well, I can't hold off any longer, I have an early TR6 or TR250/6?? The ID
tag
on the front inner fender says it was built on April 1, 1968. I bought it
from
the original owner in Taos N.M. The Number is CC26881 which seems to
indicate
a late 68 or early 69 or someone is playing a joke on everyone who checks
the
plate.
Ron
P.S. It looks like an original commission plate.
