Flat V too - not sure what that's worth
In Response To: Also: Ridged markers ()

I was scratching my head this morning too.

Great for the buyer!!

Amazing - you see sellers pitching a standard viceroy as a 'Derek Bell' and trying to get a premium for it.

And then along comes what some people consider the only true 'Derek Bell' and no one recognizes the difference. (At least no one that matters - i.e. A potential buyer)

I know we sometimes dislike the nomenclature of some of these models - and sometimes are dismissive about discussing the nuances but I really do think that they help people differentiate different models from one another.

More talk about DB's, OB's, siffert's, Rindt's, andretti's etc may actually help sometimes.
