[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 86896, member: 58"] Robert, Your question lead me to have a good look at the pre war records. Most Comet Specials had a TTC engine prefix, but three had TTR prefix but are still called Comet Specials on the works order form so I have revised the numbers slightly to Comet Specials 36 made. The TTR bikes are difficult to count as some of the early works race bikes in 1935 & 1936 were TT and not TTR, but later works race bikes were TTR prefix. Also some of the bikes were rebuilt with new engines for the next years racing so bits get swapped around. Also one bike has a TTC engine prefix but is listed as a TT Replica as the model on the works order form. So using the the model name on the works order form and not the engine prefix it works out at: Comet Specials: 36 TT bikes (not replicas): 8 TT Replicas: 39 Simon [/QUOTE]
