She looks lovely. With all the work you have put in, are you entering her in any of the trophies for restoration?

Despite appearances she is only about 12 years old with modern Japanese (reliable) diesel engine.
Other than best in show, I am not sure she would be eligible. I think the former would be a little opportunistic!!

She is traditional, does it say she needs to be vintage ?
