Using commission numbers from Rimmer, Moss , and TRF

 

I have worked out that my car was built on the 4th December 1970

 

it says

 

1970 model year first production car built on 22 Nov 1970 was CC50001L

Last car built that year, (24 Dec 1970?) was CC51032L

 

my car is 50376L

 

If they built 32 cars per day using the 1970 Callender is where I imagine it was built.

 

But does anyone have more accurate figures

 

november calendar for 1970

Pete,

 

I reckon your TR6 was built on the 5th December. We have a record of CC50375L being built on the 5th December and the first car w/c 8th December is CC50395L.

 

cheers

Does that mean they built cars on Saturday as the 5th December 1970 is a Saturday with Monday being the 7th?

Kevin,

 

I think there may be a mix up in dates, as a 1970 model year car would be built in Dec 1969.

 

Cheers

Well spotted, I didn't notice that Pete's initial post said 1970 and should have put the year in my response. Pete's car was built on the 5th December 1969.

 

cheers
