We have the same problem with monarchs. It took Elizabeth I (Tudor) some
hundreds of years and the arrival of the present incumbent (Elizabeth II) to
get her "I"!!

Bill,
My not so clear point was, that just as the AH 100 did not become the 100-4
until the 100-6 was introduced, the AH 3000 did not become the 3000 MK I
until the MK II was introduced.
If one becomes upset when another uses the term 100-4, is it just as
legitimate for one to become upset when another uses the phrase 3000 MK I?
Ron

Nope, not at all, Ronald,
There were 3000's MK I, MK II and MK III. They all had the same engine
blocks, just different carbs. There were also MK III's and MK
IIIa's, as well, but I do not profess to know where the "a" nomenclature
came from denoting the different body style with the additional running
lights as required by USA regulations. (As the Colonies were DMH's
prime market.) Come on Concours guys, Patrick and Alan, help me out
here! :-)
