I agree with both.
Although you wonder what expectations the buyer has regarding his/her
purchase?
Do you think they'd be upset after entering a show and being ripped by
knowledgeable (Marque specific) judges?
Of course, if you've dropped this kind of money without being able to
differentiate between correct Concours Level restoration and a Show Quality
restoration then I'm sure the only shows will be Popular's!
Another reason why those folks involved with Concours and Concours
Registries should get some credit so that someday when we're all gone, someone,
somewhere can look at an Austin Healey and see it as it came off the assembly
line
(yeah, right). Is this why Europeans value automobiles which have NOT been
restored over those which have?
