According to TBON, pg. 158, "The trim rings used for the Tiger were unique to the V8 equipped model, for all but a very few late B3920xxxxx vehicles. From this point on, the crisscross-cross pattern was dropped and all cars used the same slotted ring as the Alpine."

I guess you’d have to query Norm directly for a more precise estimate of vehicle VIN when the change-over occurred.

My Tiger is rather late in the MKIa run but since it did not come with the original wheels, I have no idea if it was sold with crisscross or slotted rings. As mentioned earlier, I opted for slotted when I bought replacements.
