Production year based on body number ?

[Xadeb]

Hello,
As the production year on the documents of my TVR 2500M is wrong (1971), I was wondering if we can estimate it based on the body number (3040TM) ?
From the references on the glasses, it could be 1973...1975.

Thanks !

I would say it is pre 75 and the factory fire. Definitely not a 71.

Ok thanks !

#3040 should be a 1974. The 1974 model year began with #2951. My 2500M, #3182TM, is a 1974. Yours should be a chrome bumper car, they started with the black rubber bumpers at # 3096TM.
