This was indeed one of the choices in November 1927 and what good value the Meltrope offered. Note what Mr Ginn was offering on the left hand page which cost about 30% more than the Wilson horn outfit.

("Here is a reference to M2 in March 1925 which looks similar to yours but rather different to M3a. I cannot find anything on M3 at present")

I use an M3A in my XA Oversize, and I can vouch that it lives up to Collaro's claim for it- Strong Silent Compact and British! My case had previously been fitted with an electric replacement with the mains wire fed in through the winding escutcheon which is located approximately 4" behind the spindle centre. The M3A Collaro was the only motor I could find at the time that matched the winding escutcheon.

I am most grateful to see your advertisement for it, Graham, as I have been unable to turn any info up for the M3A so far, many thanks!
