All the best,

In my experience many "serious car collectors" do quite the opposite. They restore every car they buy, sometimes including cars that don't look like they need restoring!

Which again is why some original barn find cases of valuable classics will fetch more money at auction than a road going example with an amateurish restoration.

The problem is, they're only original once
