Superb! A credit to the bloke who must have spent a lot of time and money to get to that standard. However you really would not want to take it out for a good blast as it would be a nightmare to get back mint again. I have been restoring a 1963 MK2 Jag for many years and would never get anywhere near that standard but to be honest I wouldnt want to as I know I would never go anywhere in it (if I ever finish it that is!) One year I watched some people get their cars ready for a national concours final and I decided life was too short for that kind of behaviour. One guy spent over an hour cleaning his tyre treads with little toothbrushes, removing every speck of dust. They were brand new tyres and the car (F355) was obviously never driven. Cant see the point in that really as impressive as the car was.
