Which just goes to show that the judges probably haven't got a clue about 
original factory finish!!!! All TR's I drove, while still smelling of 
upholstery glue and new paint, always had either rusty manifolds or paint 
still in the process of burning off them. They were like this in the vehicle 
transit parks and long before they even got shipped out of the country or 
delivered to UK dealers.
