I judge the Los Angeles and Palos Verdes concours almost every year. I judge mostly British sports cars. The biggest thing I see is overrestoration. Highly polished aluminum that wasn't done that way at the factory, or painted engine compartment when it was undercoated. People forget it's a competition like any other contest/sport. There is a lot to be said for original, but not everything has to be original/mint condition. To each his own.
