I do love the original untouched factory look. I think this is true Concourse. Going to a few of the Ford shows it seems to many of us ignore this and just try to chrome and polish as many parts as possible.

I remember watching an American Car programme on Sky, the guy had a Ferrari in California and he wanted it rebuilt to concourse. The workshop were looking over the car and they actually made notes of over spray underneath and other 'factory errors' as they were going to be recreated when they rebuilt it.

I do appreciate both types and to a certain extent it depends what you have to work with. I would love a totally original untouched example but I bought a bit of a wreck and so most of my car is new rather than how Ford intended.

Cheers
