Hi Paul

I have a real problem with my computer today - I press reply and it =
sends without giving me time to write.

In regard to the Replica/Restoration debate - many places outside the =
U.K., particularly Australia, do not accept that a chassis can be =
replaced.  The identity of the vehicle is the number stamped into the =
vehicle (in the case of a Land Rover the chassis) not a number stamped =
into any sort of aluminium or brass plate affixed somewhere.  So we find =
the issue of replacement chassis' a fascinating activity.=20

In the garage there is an axe - it belonged to my grandfather - over the =
years it has had 3 new handles and 1 new head.  Is it still my =
Grandfather's axe?

I would have to go for a replica!!!  I wonder what chassis number/reg he =
used ???

Still a noble cause, the more vehicles on the road the better in my =
books!!
