What I meant by ALL this is that a Maratona (or Milano or Sport Sedan) has to really be spotlessly detailed and preserved if it is to have a chance at an overall trophy at a concours, especially a multi-marque concours or one where the public's opinion is taken into account. Sorry for not expressing myself more clearly.
