Hallo Tony,

Not sure what you mean, as I don´t elaborate on what I think is the car's history. I have no opinion about it, all I meant to say is that in cases like this it is important the true provenance of the vehicle in question is established, rather than looking for clues which confirm the history now presented, while disregarding the clues which might contradict it.

My F15A has a nick in the side of the body, and I have a wartime accident report which could be used to explain how the nick got there. 1+1=2? It´s not that easy. . .

There are too many HMV´s with a made up history, while it is rare to be able to establish any vehicle history at all. On the other hand, many aircraft of which detailed records are kept, are no longer the thing they depict as 80% or more of the actual aircraft has been replaced to get it into the air again as a genuine Battle of Britain veteran or whatever

Hanno
