I have acquired a 1971 tr6 with a color code of 96 on the body tag. Documents indicate this color does not show up until 1972. Anyone else come across this?

A quick Google web search turns up evidence that blue code 96 may have been called "Imperial" blue and then renamed "Sapphire" blue in 1972, but that the color was around in 1971 regardless of name. If it's stamped on the commission number plate, no doubt it's original (if that's the original commission number plate)!
