I do not think there is one for Sunbeams. Most of the major Concours events have their judging criteria available on their web sites. Having been in many of these with my Tiger, Harrington and Race Car, they (the judges) look at how close to STOCK and go from there. If you deviate, they will notice if they have done their research in advance as they ususally do.

Thanks for the mention John (when are you going to do it properly and get those pimped carpets out and the correct rubber mats in..)
It is strange that Alpine owners do not do true concours. If you go to a Triumph,Healey,Jaguar etc show you will see lots of vehicles in perfect factory spec looking like the day they rolled off the assembly line...not so Alpines.
In fact I have never seen a concours Alpine in the UK ! or for that a US car on this forum that could really be classed as concours. I have seen some good examples of the marque but they always have a few incorrect items. This is not a criticism but a observation.[/URL]
You say your wifes car has been a consistant winner of the stock class at the TE/AE concours. Is this the blue Series V ? If so how close would you say it is to the "as manufactured" standard ?
ok,
the blue car was TWO POINTS short of a perfect score at suni this past june. i also have a sheet here for it's last TE/AE meet. those points are as follows. did some things before suni. hope this answers some question as to why it takes a trophy every once in awhile. anything else you need? by the way ,it will never be 100% original since i would NEVER put rubber mats in it. carpet feels real nice on bare toes.
