Perhaps there should be 3 different symantic categories. May I suggest:-
1. Rebuilt
2. Restored
and, most appropriately at this time of year,
3. Resurrected.
It would seem to me that Mr. Sherriff's Hispano-Suiza job comes under the
last category, as he himself points out.

On the contary, "resurrected" is bringing a car back from the dead. In every
attempt I have seen, it was best left deceased.
Sounds like Clive has "Maintained". Thats the best!

Perhaps at this time of year "Reborn " is more appropriate. "Resurected" at
Easter?
Sorry to be pedantic!!!
