Weasel1984 ◊ 2016-05-07 15:30	Yes.
eLMeR ◊ 2016-05-10 01:26	@ Weasel1984: Both the English and German Wikipedia pages give 1965 as launching date, just as do some other non-WP pages (like here, here or here - 2 last links: de). So why is it set with a 1966 model year, here?
Weasel1984 ◊ 2016-05-10 16:45	I think I didn't add this year.
Lateef ◊ 2016-05-10 16:53	I was the one. The reason for it is very simple - this is the way most of them are listed on the site.
eLMeR ◊ 2016-05-11 04:54	So it's maybe time for another mass renaming
Lateef ◊ 2016-05-11 08:51	Well, since the Blitz "A" was made until 1965, I would assume that the Blitz "B" was launched later in the year, which would make it a 1966 MY. Since we don't have a precise date as to when the change occured, it's better to leave them the way they are, for now. -- Last edit: 2016-05-11 08:51:40
