Re: Badger's Questions Original Finish and what itmeans

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. Geoff Love C Sherriff wrote:

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! Regards from Ohio Mark TC8126 (Being rebuilt)

Perhaps at this time of year "Reborn " is more appropriate. "Resurected" at Easter? Sorry to be pedantic!!! Paul TC 3348
