For me it really depends on the condition of the car in question. Some cars deserve to be restored to judging quality. Some are "to nice" to restore, the survivers.

Some are barely better than parts. and then there are a whole slew of cars in-between.

I have a ruff and not original car that I want to recreate all the original finishes on to give the illusion of an original car hot rodded in say 1939. I also want an all original car not restored. I never get the same feeling from a modified or restored car as I do from a original car. something about them just has soul. Not that the other cars don't. but they are only original once right?

Is this the 498 out of 500 car? I think this is my favorite model A of all time.

Yes 498 as Peter mentioned. I'd like to know for sure if this is Lombard blue.
