In this photo http://fishplate.org/vehicles/  only the TR6 has some 
"restoration" hours in it, as it has had the carpet and seat covers 
replaced.  Everything else is as new, and was kept up with good 
maintenance - it's been in the family since 1977.

The Spitfire has no "restoration" time on it, as I drive it daily, 
and it doesn't need restoration - what's there is what it is.  I'm 
afraid to drive the TR6, as evidenced by the huge dent on the other 
side of the Spitfire, where some incautious driver creased it...I 
would hate for that to happen to a 34 year old car with original paint...

Oh yeah, the Volvos are unrestored...
