    How do you use "concours" and "repop" in the same sentence?

    Ciao

    I think they are made by Classico. Not sure. But if so you would be happier with the real thing. I made the mistake of buying a "Nardi" from Classico. It was very poor repro even the black circumferential inlay was painted on then cleared over. No good.

    I've touched one; not impressed.

    Would look great on anything other than a 64/65.

    Why wouldn't repop and concourse be in the same sentence ? Most concourse events are essentially cleaning contests not authenticity contests .

    Here is an example (^^^) of using "concours" and "repop" in the same sentence.
