I wonder if it makes sense to create a private “constructive coupe critique” subforum for the members of this group?
This would allow a member to proactively post their car up for selected/vetted forum members to critique or recommend historically accurate alterations WITHOUT the negative aspects of public scrutiny during the actual sale. Obviously some of these incorrect details aren’t always easily addressable, however, I frequently see little details (that could have been easily and inexpensively rectified) completely derail a sale or discussion thread, to the detriment of the final hammer price - especially on BAT.
If a potential seller had the benefit of this expertise before going fully “public” with their sale, I think everyone would benefit. This isn’t meant to hide the history of the car, more to help keep the sales threads clean and focused on the positive aspects of the car for sale.
Let’s use our collective expertise for the benefit of our community - not for “internet sleuth points” that ultimately serve to devalue all coupes and most likely hurt the feelings of the person who has taken the difficult decision to part ways with their beloved car.
