Re: [MBZ] Preservation class

MBCA is trying to promote not buggering up old cars. This is a new promotion that allows you to have the car looked at in a concours sort of manner to verify condition and that it is being kept sort of pure. You get leeway for headlights, some other stuff. As long as you score above 75%, you
