Its easy: restoring a car is only a matter of work, time, knowledge. Each
You can get for money. Original 50+ years old factory fittment in good
condition - its something You cannot order from a pro resto company.

Curt, Rich, et al,
I have to agree with you.
I believe though, The point is not that someone restored a 100 with more or
less expertise and got the parts back not correctly. I believe that the
point is that the owner took apart a 55 year old car with 750 miles. In
addition, did not quite get it back right.
As Richard Korn said, it's like repainting a Stradivarius that was never
restored.
David, they _are_ original only once!!
On top, Such a car presented a much higher value (not just to the Concourse
Committee, but money wise) unrestored.
Take a look at the unrestored XK Jaguars or Aston Martins - the prices are
_MUCH_ higher than for restored examples.
Take a look at the value of the NOJ391 - do you think it would be worth more
restored?..
