[Tigers] BRG

[Tom Witt]

“...even the judges can't agree...”

Yes, and do the judges pass a color blind test before they are certified to judge? I have clothing that some call off-white and others call slightly gray and yet I see a hint of green.  As far as “...no da swirls,” well only if there were no swirls from the factory.  But then..., what is original? Say there were no swirls from the factory but in the dealer prep process they appeared. And the first time buyer never sees the car until after dealer prep. So, what is original?  Will it get to the point that judges microscopically check the barely discernable swirl spacing, test the tires for 1960’s air? A while back I recall reading about judging to the extent that points were awarded because there was a hint of grease on the Zerk fitting and that was deemed “more original!”

  I know this all sounds a bit absurd but in the world of one-upmanship there is always someone who wants to outdo the next guy. And the negative side of that can be some are left feeling lacking because their cars aren’t “there” and the joy of ownership gets lost in the pursuit.

A quick note, when I had my Healey and went to many shows no Healeys had the same brg shades, some darker ,some more blue, mixing was less an art than today, but they all looked great!!  Beau.
