Which is worth more an original car un-restored with all its original parts
in running condition? A resorted car with a warmed up motor in great
condition but personalized? Or a totally restored to bone stock specs from
the factory but using some after market parts?
It is an interesting question. I believe, and so far the market does as
well, that Tigers are going to continue to be similar to Panteras, where well
done modifications (to improve on basic design flaws) are going to be well
received by the majority of the market place and fetch prices at least equal to
most "restored" cars...but, painstaking restorations entirely true to original
should command a premium from those more interested in collecting or showing
than driving or doing track days. The "holy grail" will be true survivors
that are too nice to restore...or drive...and the very few cars that have any
truly significant history.
I don't believe Tigers are going to follow the Corvette "Bloomington Gold"
path to "correct" overspray, chalk marks and other minutiae becoming the
obsession of the majority of owners...thank goodness!!
