Dear Steve:
No, I do not have any specific examples. If you go here, however, you will
find Tiger stock concours judging sheets from TE/AE:
http://www.teae.org/concours/ You will note that in every category there are
points given for "overall originality." Other competitions publish specific
exceptions such as the ones I mentioned, while the express terms of the Tiger
competitions bespeak a penalty. Additionally, in speaking to a judge on the
phone some time ago (cannot remember who it was, but I believe it was a TEAE
person) when I had some questions about how to even begin a stock restoration,
I was informed that a dual master cylinder would result in a deduction.
It seems to me that absent publishing exceptions to the originality point
system, there are no exceptions. You know how legalistic I get.
