Maybe you should contact the Rootes Archive and tell them that their records are incorrect or you could suggest that they have a training session on how to correctly read the records or suggest that they proof read the records to make sure they're correct. I don't know their procedure for doing these certificates but maybe you can get the problems that you see corrected. Everything else seems to match other than we have added several items over the years. 
The wife is happy with what she paid for so it goes back to an old saying, " A HAPPY WIFE MAKES FOR A HAPPY LIFE". Those are the facts.

The fact is the sheet is incorrect. Unless the motor was LC spec which your sheet staes it is not, the data is incorrect.
Check any workshop manual or spec sheet.
Those are the actual facts

Warren while the tiger ledgers are sloppy, this will be an error on the part of the person typing the certificates at the archive.
The error is more confusing as its more than a digit off... The stock series IV alpines (high compression) were 9.1:1 ( as was the series II and 3) the series I and V had a CR of 9.2:1.
I bought a certificate from the Rootes Archive, too. It is a really nice document to have. I had multiple reviews of drafts and I asked for multiple updates before the final version was produced. So the buyer has the opportunity to fix any anomalies. They were super nice and I was happy they accommodated the changes I wanted.

Bob,
The FACTS are the certificate states the engine as high compression and then lists it as 8.3, not a standard compression ratio, much lower than it. This is an error on the certificate.. Irrelevant to whatever mods are on your car.
The FACT is it's an error on your certificate. As Mike pointed out they apparently send drafts for audit. I guess if you didnt spot the error or were unaware of the compression ratio of alpine motors and didnt raise it at the time they would not replace it as you had the chance.
As a memeber of the archive i will contact them and point it out. I'm sure others actually want the correct specifications. Maybe its just yours that was done in error.....

There is no argument Bob. The FACT is the sheet is wrong. Its ok if you dont care about the error or misinformation you paid your money and like what you got.

Dan,
Our plan is to have one for each car so that means I have a few more to get.
Dan,
The certificate cost was £49.00 GBP, which is currently about $63 USD.
I supplied the year of manufacture, the series # and the info on my VIN tag - the VIN, suffix, and color code. I don't know if I needed to provide anything more than just the VIN.

Bob has asked that I supply them with the complete VIN, SAL number and color code if possible. They can use just the VIN but the other two infos help confirm things. The VIN number tells them what series it is and the time frame when it was built. The year on the title doesn't figure into the process due to the cars being titled in the year sold in most states in the U.S. My series 4 was built in 1964, titled a 1965 and I have found this on my other cars. My four fastbacks were built in 1968 but are all titled 1969 and the other two Harringtons are titled 1963. My early series 1 with the square plate like the one shown in the SS catalog is titled 1960. Roger from the Archives was at the TE/AE United this year and since I had the certificate with me and displayed on the windshield we talked about the procedure. The cost shown is 49 GBP but that varies due to the exchange rate. The one shown was 54.23 GBP including shipping cost which today is $69.84 US dollars.
