Which is why completely unmolested cars often fetch a premium, depending of course on what the car is!

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to know what lurks beneath the sheen of a recently restored car. Every good restorer I have spoken to has horror stories about what they have found on what appear on the surface to be good cars.

Probably the only time you can take a few things for granted is if the car has been restored by people you know, like the guys at Alpine Eagle for instance.
