I am glad to see a historical approach to a car like this. Preservation is a good term. I look at these like vintage 50's Les Pauls...... totally beat ones are around that were redone to beauty, but ohhh, those original with love scuffs vintage wood ones, they drop jaws. Same with cars like this..... not about perfection but about vintage mojo. I have a very original vintage house, I learned it and people tell me often, all the $$$ in the world can't recreate the mojo... same with this car. IMO

Sounds like Adrian off to bigger glory!
