The 'Hunt'
Once an image is selected, the team has to locate a pristine sample of a car. Sometimes this can be difficult, especially if the car is a very limited production version. One problem with restored cars is that you need to look closely at the car to see that it has not been over-restored or updated. Sometimes this is unavoidable, as some racecars have had mandatory safety updates that have changed the original configuration and specifications of the car. All of these issues need to be taken into account when doing the "hunt". Sometimes pristine samples are not available, so you have to go with a car under restoration. In some cases this option is better as the car is "original" and has not been over-restored.
