Whereas I'm gobsmacked at some of the restorations people have done, I do prefer a P6 which looks like it might have taken a family to the beach in the long hot summer of 1976.
Obviously it's a personal thing and at the risk of being labelled some kind of up-tight purist going to classics shows these days, many of the vehicles just don't feel very authentic anymore. They are more "custom shows", which is of course absolutely fine and proper if people are willing to invest the time and money in keeping their cherished car on the road.
I was a kid in the 1970s and there were lots of P6s around in various states of decay and sometimes looking at forumers cars this plays tricks on the memory; they are simply too damn good. The main one is the number of accessories and the wheels fitted. Back in the day when these were often company cars or someones cheap transport later in life, you just wouldn't see this. Today so many have ETs, boot mounted spares or alloys, it's a pleasure to see a plain-jane 2000sc.
That and the "restoration red-shift" which seems to happen with many cars of this period. We should be almond, tobacco and mexico and proud!
