I only noticed this yesterday, it was sold in January via Collecting Cars for £126,000 after a Euro195,000 rebuild

Beautiully finished but full of errors (and non original engine).
Why do restorers keep making such painfully obvious non-original mistakes?

Time and again you see this on all makes of classic car.
Restoration taken to the 100% level far exceeds the market value by a big margin.
Why bother doing a restoration?
hold the cash and just wait.

Hi Ian
I think because the word ‘restoration’ has become synonymous with the word ‘rebuild’. There’s a world of difference but there are fewer people (parts manufacturers/rebuilders and purchasers) with your level of knowledge that ken the difference.
