I think the issue is that this car _was_ a 750-mile original car.
There are not many such examples of how our cars were made.  There are
thousands of Austin-Healeys of the various models surviving today.
Repainting one of them, "restoring" or "upgrading" most of them is not
a loss to the Healey community.  But discarding the interior and
repainting a 750 mile car is, in my opinion, a loss.
