Why not - though in the UK I think many owners are happy to pay full whack and 
let their
cars be seen. At the Triumph 75th in 1998 at Gaydon there was one of the former 
'works'
rally 2.5PI saloons that had had a major 'coming together' at the front end 
heralding
major big bucks to repair. I think it was XJB 303 H. No-one queried why a 
smashed up car
was on a club display - everyone was delighted to see it - regardless of what 
it looked
like. I'm hoping that 'Canley Girl' might win 'Heap of the Show' at Gaydon on 
July 2 but
perhaps I shouldn't have spent the last ten days polishing round the rust.
