I remember seeing TS1 in it's garage pre-restoration around 1980-1981.
What was achieved with that restoration is remarkable, and I'm delighted
TS1 still exists. The car started as a heavily rusted project, that while
mostly complete needed an enormous amount of work. Possibly a different
frame adapted to the unique details of TS1.
The idea of originality is great. Conservation classes at concours events
is a welcome development in support of originality. I don't think TS1
would fit into that class, though...
