Re: supersports

All this talk about is it or is it not a Super Sports, Ken Hill went to the factory and waded through all the records. He listed them below and I use the list as my bible to decide whether a Mog is or is not a Super Sports. If a car is not on this list. it is not a Super Sports.....simples. //live.s...
