[Healeys] concours judging

[Oudesluys]

Hmmm,
Strange judging from you nit pickers on originality.
It cannot be better (more original) than a car as it left the factory in 
perfect as new condition, still an over restored vehicle will run away 
with the prizes!! I do not understand this.
What is over restored? That everything is perfect when originally things 
were not. E.g. even gaps, brilliant shiny paint because of use of clear 
lacker, perfectly fitting interior panels, stainless steel bolts in 
stead of zinc or non-plated ones etc.
The points deducted on extra chrome etc. I understand and looks 
perfectly legitimate to me.
Cheers,
Kees Oudesluijs
