I do find it sad that the replica is being sold, however it is the lads choice and maybe his dads too?
I have a nice MGP Winners replica that I won a few years ago but my wife and kids have and had no interest in racing at all and did not want me to race. If I don't sell it first then I will leave it to my kids and if they wish to sell it (after all it means less to them than it does to me) then they have my blessing to do so.
Do I assume that from the early comments in this thread that neither of you would go and visit a private museum with a collection of replicas, bikes, trophies etc, collected by a collector to be viewed by others?
It is after all the selling of these trophies that enables the rest of us to see them is it not?
Surely better that than sit in the loft gathering dust?
If anybody does wish to see a very nice collection, including my MGP replica then I believe it can be seen at Mannin Collections Castle St, Peel.
