Lou,
Yep, I agree. Bonnet must be open at least to even consider giving my vote.
I also like to see the boot open too, but not necessary. The thing that I
really like to see are pictures / write up about the car's history,
restoration, use, etc. Whenever I showed my 4A I had a photo album of the
before, during, and after restoration process, and a write up about how my
family helped me restore it and enjoys riding in it as often as possible.
This was always a conversion starter with viewers and I really enjoyed
talking about my TR!
Brian

Attended my first British show of the season this past Sunday in Columbus,
Ohio and on the way back home (3 hour drive) I wondered what do you look
for before your cast your vote in Participant Choice shows? With a line of
say a dozen TR6s, what determines your preference?
Personally I will never vote for a car with the bonnet closed! Being a
confirmed Concours freak, I look for "correctness" and the last thing is the
owners name on the placard to refrain from "friends" voting.
