Ok. What would you prefer???
Non-genuine, non-factory, aftermarket, replica, replacement, ersatz, home made, bodgy, deceptive, unreal ????? And (at least where I come from) illegal.
$10 + freight and you can have any ID you want.... $900+ for an old bit of paper out of someone's bottom drawer seems like a reasonable deal.
Even the Healey saloon used genuine parts ... and was not going to fool anyone who didn't want to be in on the joke.... (or didn't care).
Cheers, Ian

Years ago, a friend had an "Austin Healy Sprite saloon".... (probably the only one on the planet).
At least that's what it said on the title 8-0

This is so not allowed. The auction will be cancelled when Ebay gets wind of it. There's no prize for figuring out why I know this. Minicoop63, you're wrong about it being an AA, check out,
