I agree with you. The following is not a counterpoint. It's just something on the wonderfull world of not doing restorations. I've got an old unrestored Triumph that I take to the car shows. Sitting in the field of shiny jewels is my ratty old car. Some day, I'm going to make a "go ahead and touch it" sign or something like that for it. I can't count the number of times I have watched people stop and study my car. Not the concours crowd, but real people. People who didn't know you really can just drive and enjoy something, without worrying about how pretty it is. Anyone is welcome to climb in and see what it's like to view the world over an old wooden dash. I've had a number of people get out and start talking to me or their friends about the idea of getting something like my old Triumph because "gee, this seems like a lot of fun" and "I didn't know you could just drive one." Other show folk tend to know me, and the car. So if I'm not around they are quick to open it up for people to look at and touch. I've never had the car hurt this way, though I suppose eventually I may. The worse I've had is dirty foot prints on the seat from the little ones standing on it making voom voom noises while grinning over the steering wheel. Unrestored show pieces are a neat world in their own right.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
