Hello All,
Kees sent me a good question today regarding our Concours policy about
allowable accessories. I have answered him but though that this would be
useful information for all. My reply follows.....
> Hello Kees,
>
> The National Concours Registry as we developed here in North America
> wrestled with the subject of accessories in our early formative years
> (late 1980's) and came up with this policy:
>
> If a car enters a sanctioned National Concours Registry judging event and
> has whatever accessories installed on the car, they must be handled as
> such:
> 1. They must be period accessories that were available commercially at the
> time the car was built.
> 2. We have a short list of commonly seen accessories that will be accepted
> without deduction (of course unless condition warrants point deduction).
> These are listed in our Guidelines book. They are common and readily
> identifiable items such as period Lucas driving and fog lamps, badge and
> lamp bars, exterior mirrors, luggage racks, etc.
> 3. Items not listed in the Guidelines accessories list must have proof
> that the accessory was available at the time of the car's manufacture.
> This may be copies of period magazine advertisements, period catologues,
> etc. It would be up to the entrant to provide such documentation to the
> judges in the allotted interview that we conduct prior to the judging.
> 4. Accessories should be installed or presented in a tasteful and safe
> manner, and of course be in excellent condition and function properly so
> that point loss may not occur due to poor condition.
> 5. Accessories do not create any bonus points, but if all the above
> criteria are met, will simply not cause loss of points.
>
> Please note that other judging policies certainly do exist in other areas
> of the world and the National Concours Registry cannot be responsible for
> their policies.
>
> I hope this explains the policy adequately.
