C.K.D.

[JHertzman@domain.elided]

In AD7-542 Mark Springer asks the meaning of CKD

Completely Knocked Down.

South Africa did not allow the importation of assembled motor vehicles, only
of parts, which were assembled there- not too well, according to some reports.

Mark's example, 
	Modell			Serie	Stuckzahl
- - --------------------------------------------------
1963	Giulia TI		105.14	25673
	Giulia Rechtslenker	105.09	301
	Giulia TI C.K.D.	105.14	1650
	Giulia TI Super		105.16	178

corresponds to Fusi,
	Tipo			Serie		Produzione
- -----------------------------------------------------
1953	Giulia T.I.		105.14	25773
	Giulia T.I. G.d.	105.09	301
	Giulia T.I. CKD 	105.09	1650
	Giulia T.I.Super	105.16	178

und so weiter. EXCEPT the German table he cites switched the type numbers:
C.K.D. cars invariably have the same type numbers as G.d. cars.

Und G.d? C'mon, don't be gauche- means rechtlslenker.

Cordially,
