I believe we have different interpretations of restored.
I believe restored to mean stripped to the last nut and bolt and rebuilt so its in "as new " condition, or better than new in some cases. Your restorations have a degree of "patina "

Not a bad thing but erasing all history & patina from a vehicle which is clearly a sound survivor has thankfully become less prevalent & conservation has become more common.

Very true!
But but bikes with patina rarely win rosette's unfortunately.

A Sapphire has appeared in the car park of the social club we go to. Not sure who owns it yet. Very nice, looks like an older restoration so is well worn in.
