Only what came with the car is shown. That I now understand.
How would the judges handle a European delivery model. There are several obvious differences (ie. no fender directionals, driving lights instead of fog lights, no lettering on the engine lid) and many subtle items (i.e. no emission canister, absence of directional column decals, no DOT stickers or VIN tag, engine serial number out of sequence) that will likely be noted by the judges.
Is there an opportunity to make the judges aware that it is a true Europe delivery vehicle and that differences ,however slight, do exist. I'd hate to loose points on on originality item due to unfamiliarity between the models.
I'm likely to need all the points I can muster!
OK, now we're down to the nitty-gritty! If you have the COA and/or the window sticker, keep it with you - but tell the judges when they come to your car that it's Euro delivery, and that you have paperwork to prove it. Any judge team captain worth his salt will ask to see proof! Once that's been established ( by your docs), there should be no further problem - but stay with the car! I can just see them huddling together for this one!
If your docs(original, if possible) are correct, just be certain that the car is prepared. By that, I mean your knuckles should be bloody, fingernails gone (or filthy) and tetanus shots current.
You'll be FINE & please let us know how it turns out. Remember (if it's PCA) there's always next year! BTDT.
