T350c Build Date - Engine Number

[Blue-Lightning]

Following a question from a potential buyer, I have just checked the engine number on my 06 registered T350c.

The number is : 06 07 P6 36 XXXX

I understand that the numbers are defined as:
First two chars are the year: 06
Second set of two chars are the the week built: 07 (3rd week in February)
Third set of two chars are the engine conf: P6 (straight 6)
Fourth set of chars, engine size: 36 (3.6)
Remaining four chars engine serial number xxxx

Can anyone confirm if this is correct!

I had always assumed that my car had been built in late 2005 and registered in 2006.

From previous threads I believe there was only one T350c built by the factory in 2006, again can this be confirmed.

So was my T350c the only one built by the factory in 2006?

Have just checked the VIN number that also seems to confirm the T350 was built in 2006.

I've been checking the VIN on my Tamora and it starts as follows:

SDL- TVR manufacturer identification
F- same as the t350 above
A- first Variant
1- Engine code
7- ?
A-
5-

Did anyone identify what the '7' represents, or the 'A' and '5' for that matter?

Also the 'F' seems the same for Tamora and T350?
