<VV> 10k Monza on Ebay/concours judging.

[Gary Swiatowy]

Even an original car will get dirty underneath, maybe some oil leakage, 
grease around the grease fittings, and the urge is to leave it. This could 
lead to a lot of point deductions.
I have seen "original" cars score well in concours, but these have been 
literally scrubbed clean underneath.
