    Had my first one engraved "Reprica built by Guy Mayers" but the one attached to the car says "Replica built by Guy Mayers", and the engraver paid for that and did it for free��

    Similar to the story of how Mitsubishi came up with the name Starion

    Sorry for the slight off-topic post, but that engraving cock-up just reminded me of a birthday cake that was made years ago by some catering company for my niece, Melanie...it turned up on the day with "MELONY" on the top...her Mum went ballistic
    Still laugh whenever I think of it, hahaha!

    More seriously Guy ; if you want to save it you can easily with apneumatic little spheric grinder cancel that punching or engraving and leave a new clean rectangle for another engraving ????

    Originally as you probably know those plates where "punched " with separate big numbers .....

    Both of those are excellent ideas, especially as my 1:1 Stradale will be a copy of my 1:18 scale model.

    Please can I be on the list for 2 plates (having a spare also means I'm less likely to mess up the first one)
    Thanks, Graham
