Way to go Pete and Sead. Both restorations are top drawer and reflected by the appraisal.
In terms of originality that can be very elusive. Some parts are NLA but many that are available have slight differences. In terms of finish materials, I feel that the best that can be done is to approximate what was there originally. MBTex, leather and especially carpets all are different than what went into our cars from the factory. From what I can see, these two cars have been restored to a faithful level based on what materials are available today. I don’t think you can do much better than that!
