Actually, the certificate from BMHT tells you what was installed on the
car as it came down the line. If a car was modified for race or rallye
after it came out of the doors at Canley, whether by the factory or by
a dealer, the mods would not show on the BMHT cert. Yet those mods would
certainly count as "original equipment" since they would have been on the
car prior to delivery to the original purchaser. Welcome to the gray
area of the hobby.
