only the 67 doesn't fit to the Triumph numbering schema, but Joe had a rather

> > Are these rare?
>From the Member List of the Spitfire Club in Germany I can even confirm that
there are several others:
FC 81000 1966
FC 81655 L 1967
FC 83153 L 1967
FC 84111 L 1967
FC 86972 L 1966
(L is used for LHD). You even see that the highest VIN made it to the customer
earlier (please note the years are origin dates)
