Sorry but "original" or "gold standard" or "correct" does not mean anything.
There is no legal definition for this.
It is an "original" Austin-Healey, not a Replica, gold standard does not mean
anything, except for judging at Austin-Healey Club events. Tanner can call it
a gold standard Kurt Tanner car.
I am with you, you can call it fraud, but the rules of Concours correct are
not legaly fixed. It is just something agreed by a group of people. No others
need to follow that guidelines.

There may be legal distinction.
IF the cars sold at BJ are represented as "original" or "gold standard" or
"correct" and they are NOT, then it's fraud. Pure and simple--whether or not
you "like" the level of finish or style or restoration.
