I agree with the strict definition of restored, but I would also offer that lots and lots of Model A owner’s that belong to clubs, and have Model A’s that have been very nicely “refurbished” in many ways, but also have touring mods, describe them as restored. I think to many not so serious hobbyists, restoring is a somewhat nebulous term, loosely applied often. So, if a car is really restored, except for a Mitchell OD, is it now mostly restored, 95% restored, refurbished, or just a nice Model A?
