While I deplore vehicles not being driven I do feel that we should save
some 'originals' so we have a preserved example of what was
really original. So such an unusual truly original car should be put
somewhere where enthusiasts can look at it and use it as a bench mark.
I always cock my eyebrows at "restored to original" vehicles. I know one
original Maserati that has been sold (for BIG $$$$) a few times as original
- I know it has a body made by an Englishman here in Canada. Same for a
Duesenberg which was built using parts gleaned from the four corners of
the Earth. I saw both bodies under construction !!!!!!!
