Amazing work. Shame it's been clocked.
This caught my eye, on a second viewing, too.To me, at least from a 'moral' standpoint, the car is as good, if not better than when it was new, thus it feels reasonable he should wind the clock back.
However, is this legal? Or, perhaps the question would be, is it legal in the UK, for those restoring cars?

I'd think it highly unlikely that, if he were to sell it on, he wouldn't show the buyer that thread...To me, at least from a 'moral' standpoint, the car is as good, if not better than when it was new, thus it feels reasonable he should wind the clock back.

Always thought the illegal bit was passing it off as having covered lower mileage for financial gain, not the actual act of 'clocking' or 'mileage correction'........To me, at least from a 'moral' standpoint, the car is as good, if not better than when it was new, thus it feels reasonable he should wind the clock back.

Eh? I wasn't suggesting he was doing any wrong doing - I'm asking a genuine question. If I was to restore a car (which I will) to as new/ better than new condition, I'd like to zero the odometer. I was just asking if I was 'allowed to'. That seems fairly obvious to me. It's comments like yours that would make me think this forum wouldn't be for someone who's genuinely interested in the details of a build.ts, i'll make sure to avoid that particular forum" Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
