When car AN5L 501 underwent the judging process last week in our effort to obtain Concours gold certification for it, we had an idea of what the process might look like because we have been through it before. However, we were quickly flooded with questions among our wonderful followers as to how the process works, what we got right and what we got wrong, what our score was, etc.

Unfortunately for some, the Concours committee and Austin-Healey Club have asked us to refrain from sharing the actual score we received when the judging process was completed, and we will respect their wishes. All that matters is that car 501 is a Concours Gold certified car, and that is what we set out to achieve. But what we can do is discuss with you what some deductions were and why they occurred, as well as share an inside look into the judging process live in action!
