Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1977 Ferrari 308 GTB Vetroresina - Original Paint

It always floored me Ted was asked to be a judge. He didn’t know or give a shit about correct or original. It was only about what he could make money on. He was a player in the market though he was only interested in the cash flow. He told me himself.

I once judged at a national meet

When Ted was alive he wanted me to become a judge 

I said no way  

I couldn’t judge cars that were not driven

I became a concours judge after doing all the research on cars we restored and assembling a documentary binder for the car 

only to have the “judges” take points off for correct stuff. I am assembling a massive collection of factory documents by model to support and help educate the new generation of judges as the older crew is slowly fading away.

Hey GP – the old adage “if you have too many friends – become a concours judge.”

It’s true today as it was the first Concourse and dog show ever was.

Onward

I prefer the "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" brand of concours - where the points don't matter!  😉

I heard that in some concourses now, if 2 cars are both beautifully
original and hard to split on points, original tyres can make a
difference.  Apparently, there is some trade in really old tyres (date
matched to the vintage of the car) and matching the original specs.  I
guess you could trailer the car to the show site and ease off gently,
hoping the air stays in those tyres for the day!  Anybody else heard this?
