G'day

I mean to physically walk over something. Normally in a large railway station
you walk along or through a concourse to get to the platforms.

The Concise Oxford Dictionary describes concourse as "Crowd; confluence of
things." While confluence is described as "Flowing together, uniting ..."

Just listening in Pat but  .  .  what ?  What is walking all over it.

G'day Curt

And I thought I was the only one who knew the difference between concourse
and
concours.

If I was to restore a car to concourse condition I could only expect people
to
walk all over it. If however it was concours it would be originally correct
and very clean. Woe betide anyone who would attempt to walk all over it.

Wilko,

I know this car well since it belonged to a friend, Phil Gallant here in
Oceanside.  He had Tom at Fourintune restore it some years ago and I looked
at it in detail when Phil had it for sale.

I was helping a friend who was looking for a very correct 100M, and this was
one of the cars I recommended.  My friend ended up buying a true Gold Level
100M with a lot of NOS and extra parts worth thousands for the same price as
this car.  FWIW, the asking price has tripled from when Phil sold the car.

It may be concourse but it's not Concours in my opinion, albeit a well done
Kovacs restoration.

Cheers,

Curt
