My 56 TR3 came from California (black plate SYN 082) and was registered with VIN R55005626268 (which is an aluminum plate "added" to the car). The actual VIN is TS11537L (confirmed by Heritage Certificate). I read somewhere that some California cars were registered with a secondary number such as this, but in that case it appears it have been a supplement to the car's VIN to indicate that it was registered in California and indicating the year of registration. Anyone have more information to share on how car were registered in California in the 50s? I have my title changed to match this longer VIN but ideally I'd like to have the car registered with its TS VIN. Cheers, Mike
