KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I want to get into some sort of historic racing it's something that really interests me
• There are so many opportunities for historic racing in the UK
• The TR3 is a lovely car to drive and race.
• The older the car the fewer records, the rarer the car the less information
• It's a great job that restorers do forensically tracking down what should be on a car
• When you are judging you have a limited amount of time to look at a car you are making a call on its authenticity and its beauty, which is subjective and very difficult to do.
• When judging you break the car down into the engine, interior and exterior
• My judging is focused on Ferrari a brand I'm obsessed with
• It can come down to if a Philips or flat head screw has been used.
• The details are important because it's about preserving the history
• The more missteps a car has, the further it strays from the original, the harder it is to bring it back
• The key conversation about restoration had should be between the owner, the restorer and any experts
• Iso Rivolta is a passion project, they launched a vision car which was hugely successful and  followed it with the launch of the Iso Rivolta GTZ
