Big Jim,
To my best knowledge, paperwork which is turned in with applications, covers everything from nuts, bolts, cloth wire, to clips.
If a person has went all out, the pictures taken of the points, count as being more original than one with points from autozone.
If somebody would protest, guess a person would just loosen the clamps if the picture is not sufficient evidence..
Not arguing big Jim,
For the most part, there is an adage, yea with the most money to buy 100% correct original goodies>>> wins hands down.
That is SAAC's guidelines for the best of the best, isn't it ?
Why would a person even consider paying $2000. for a carb, which has numbers you can not see
?
It is all relevant, and with Senior Judges dealing with 18 countries last year at Pebble, some being world leaders, yep, pissing rights reign supreme and who has the biggest wallet, they all want the same thing, top Honors.
They have one chance at Pebble, you wait 5 years to submit again. Exception, same owner can strip it and start all over again, or if t found a new owner they can submit the car for years, and sometimes never get an Invitation.
Bossbill, you are 100% right, keep the docs, and continue to keep documentation.
I have done the same with the Speedster and many other cars I have had.
J Speegle, spot on , thanks
Seems the portfolio adds value when its sold too ?
BIG Jim you made me smile as always, they are out of Coopers collection, and yeah it is fun to bring forth such oddities, >>> but at the same time, with two car's being perfect and equal, who would win with documentation displayed, in all out competition ?
Geez, now I am afraid to bring out the Ford Script condenser >> smile guys.
Anybody going to the Cincinnati Concours d'Elegance this weekend? Cooper will be there with the Cobra Coupe of Miata's, one of only two original factory backed cars ever built. Yes, turned in obscure facts when submitting for an Invitation.
It sat center stage last year up by an Invitational by Chicago, shred the stage with a factory werks 906 Porsche , and two other factory manufacturers werks cars.
Shooting for Special Invitation next year at Amelia for all out factory team werks car competition..
Respectfully submitted,,
John
