I mean why would you wanna restore and clean an old classic? best concours cars are stuff like brand new mk2 Focus RS. They are crap on track anyway. So may as well shine them up! shining up a new car is SO impressive.
i here you porkie ,i love a clean car ,but buftying is not for me .
but i can understand why guys are into it at the same time

James, get on track in something you're happy to rag and not worry about damaging and see how you get on and decide from there.

I like my cars to be super-clean, even the ones I'm happy to rag, but don't go in for the concours way of life. I love to see a well cared for example of anything, but not to the detriment of being able to drive the car anywhere.
mike ,i will be happy with the saff for the time being ,if i crash it i will just transfer the bits too another until i know what i want power and handling wise .once im 110%happy i will transfer everything into my ex groupa sierra
