Bill,
I just go by when it was built - that's something everybody can agree
on, since it's traceable and takes the 'guesswork' out of any
discussion.
Another reason for this is a problem I had a few years back when I
brought my car back from Oregon to California. The title was for a '68
TR4A, which obviously doesn't exist except for in the strange
netherworld that was car dealerships in the '60s. Unfortunately, the
smog guys went by the year instead of the make. The limits for the
TR250 were lower than for the 4A, so my car wasn't passing smog, and
thus couldn't be reregistered in California. I finally just took a
bunch of build information down to the DMV (after getting the expected
runaround for weeks), and they retitled it as a '67.
FWIW :)

I've just started paying attention to the likelihood that my TR3A
(TS67947L)
was manufactured in 1960, even though it is currently titled as a 1961.
I'm
curious to know if most folks refer to their cars by the build year or
the
sale/title year, especially after confirming the build date.
Not a big deal, but I'd like to be in step with popular convention.
