Listers,
Being the guilty party who listed this originally. Pun intended.
I would have been more correct in the subject title to list it "Replica K3"
as opposed to "K3 Replica."
As for Pips remarks the "Our new Pre War MG Register Captain in Australia is
grappling with these terms" the UK Register has made this distinction many
years ago when they decided on the "Replica" as a prefix. So as not to be
confused with a 12/12 Rep. for instance. In this format it would read
"Replica 12/12 Replica."
The MMM Register register these replicas as "Replica K3."
Who was it that asked Mike Allison "Why are you trying to reinvent the
wheel"?
More to the point of the advert, and there have been no takers as yet.
Chassis Number. K0147?? Didn't any one tell them the Abingdon telephone
number??
Further, have you read Bob Clare's, the MMM Registrar's, comments in the
October MMM Bulletin? Page 15, last paragraph.
