Being a Concours competitor with my non-Pcar, as I dont own a DeTomaso....yet, I would like to add that a Concours car must be as it left the factory, not as it left the dealer showroom. Typically safety mods performed by the dealer are acceptable if the commitee has allowed it but thats it. The cars must retain their crappy cooling and electricals intact. Concours is truly for the OCD individual. Although I intend to win the next Concours I enter next June I've realized I'm just not that anal. Conversely, you would be surprised to see what incredibly well represented cars dont even place!!
I wonder how "Best of Show" is determined on a non marque specific judging. The judges CANNOT possibly know all the intricacies of every individual make and model.
That Black Magic Mangusta looked like one hell of a contender though!! I bet it was either prejudice against the marque or some incredibly trivial detail that kept it from bringing the gold home, that car was flawless in my book.
...I'll get off the soapbox now, Concours discussions always drive me crazy.
yes, i understand, as i came here from the Ferrari world. my push button is "too original" to modify as i would like it. i think there are too few of them left to butcher this one.
