rpcm ◊ 2012-11-05 03:55	Actually it's known the exact year it was registered, but we don't know when it was built and exported to the UK. In this specific case it's an important detail, since the 1956 model year (the system started in August 1955) introduced a model that was in many ways different from the 1955 one. A rear view of this car would immediately confirm us if it's a 1955 or a 1956 model.
