[Mg-mmm] K3027

[TOM METCALF]

Terry, this is the myserious "Bill Hill" K3. Bill Hill was actually a 
machinist near Chicago who had done some work on the car. I got a fone call 
a few years ago from a guy in Chicago who owned a Midget. He asked me if I 
wanted to buy an original magnesium Marshall s/c from a K3, plus the bonnet 
panels. I ended up buying both and passed the blower on to K3015.

Six months later I got a call from Chris Leydon asking if I knew the 
whereabouts of a blower and bonnet set from a K3. Couldn't believe it. This 
was the original stuff from K3027 that I had. Fred Simeone had purchased the 
elusive K3 from a resto shop in Canada, where it had been for decades under 
MMM radar. Bill Hill either owned or worked at the Chicago machine shop and 
when it closed some fellow found this stuff buried that I bought. Not sure 
how his name became associated with K3027 but he was never the owner. Fred 
has supposedly restored the car but I have not heard from him for a few 
years. He's a brain surgeon in Phila and he's had other cars at Amelia but 
I've never actually seen him there.
