>While I agree wholeheartedly with your other comments, I disagree with
this one. Racecars change over time, as you've so well illustrated, a
car at the end of it's successful career is unlikely to have many parts,
if any, in common with the 'same' car at the beginning of it's career.

I agree with Randall. Take for example Ted's TR8 race car. It left the
factory as a "body in white." A potential buyer might look at it and say
"What is THIS?!! You put an ENGINE in it!!!"
The historical value of a campaigned car is as it was campaigned.
Now, if a car started out the season winning and after an engine swap it
started loosing a person might be tempted to ask "um, where's the other
engine?" ;-)
