Hi all.

I enquired about the subject and have received several replies. Thanks to
all.

First off,  I have now learned to use the listquet archives - and they are
much different from my last visit.  Very much worth using for obtuse
questions like mine.

Second,  this may be a "Canadian" thing.    John Day (and his website)
suggest that this may have been done by the port authority to confirm the
year of import - in my case the "5" being 1965.  That said,  I have not seen
any others marked as such, and my GT6 certainly is not - nor are any of the
TR3's I know of.

Finally,  in absence of other information (and I suspect I'll need to break
down and gab a BMHIT certificate),  my car was built in Malta (Thanks Joe C,
I also found your list post on the archive).  Just where the @#$@# is
Malta?!?  (I know, sort of).  Was there a military establishment there?
Might my car have been a personal import?  Anybody?!?
