Whether the restoration is done by a 'pro' or an 'amateur', it needs to
be 'sympathetic'.
I kept hearing one of the TV guys on the auction using that term. Like:
'this car has had a very sympathetic restoration'. Or: 'I would rather
see this car with its original paint than with an unsympathetic
respray'. Hadn't heard that word used before in association with auto
restoration. Must be a marketing term used by collector car
cognoscenti.

TIME X SKILL = Quality of the restoration
You do the math. :-)
Pro or not does not matter. However, if I was selling a car at auction,
I
would get some Pro to do something on the car so I could use the proper
"marketing phrase".
