New member here sorry if this has been asked and answered. I am looking at a car that is advertised as 1970 S2 number 54/1173. I think it must be a 1969. What is true?

I see from the registry that number 1164 was built 12/24/1968 and 1177 was built 1/2/1969. So, I'm guessing your car was built in 1969...I can't imagine that anything was built between Christmas '68 and New Years '69.

The other great export of Norfolk UK, apart from Lotus, is turkeys, all started by Bernard Matthews with about a dozen turkey eggs and miles of flat WWII airfields in the late 1940s, so he bought all the concrete runways and covered them with turkey farms.
So Xmas 68- Jan 69 would have been turkey eating season. We don't have "Thanksgiving", but we eat turkeys at Xmas instead, when now most of industry shuts down for 2 full weeks.

When I owned 54/1818 it was titled as a 1969 model in California. Wish I still had it.
