I ran across a Healy 100-4 several years ago that showed considerable
patina, including faded paint, a rusted bonnet and worn-through seats. I
then found out that the car had actually been fully restored to a
98-point level, sold to a new owner, and then that new owner paid dearly
to make it look unrestored! The owner evidently felt that the
"more-original" car would bring home more trophies in the new/old
condition, as well as bring a higher resale dollar.
