Re: I Believe that we Agree that These Are NOT Derek Bells

Guess we could call the black 1163 MH Bells similar to what we do on Sifferts, however could also call those Graham Hill or Emerson Fittibaldi ;-))
The 1163 T Viceroy, even there were some afterwards with some late changes...

: Here are two Autavias offered for sale on eBay, each of which is
: deccribed as being a "Derek Bell".

: Both of these Autavias have the "economy" dial, with
: numerals 1-though-12 on the hour recorder, and the brushed steel
: hands, with red tips. Note that each of them has the
: "MH" (Minutes / Hours) bezel, rather than the Tachy
: bezel. I believe that we can all agree that these are not
: "Derek Bell" Autavias . . . merely having the MH bezel
: does not make an ordinary Viceroy Autavia into a "Derek
: Bell".

: Can others please confirm that this is also their understanding?

: Thanks,

: Jeff
