I recently entered my mostly original 74 E Type roadster with 12k miles in our local chapter show as a driven class. It was recommended to be by several other members that next time I should enter in the preservation class. I have looked all over and can not find any information relating to this class, can any one shed any light?

Howard,
This is hard to read so you may just want to download Chapter 2 of the rule book from jcna.com, concours page, or contact me directly and I will email it to you, skennedyatjcna.com.

As per the JCNA Rule Book, Chapter 2, page 4,

other unique equipage or configuration, the Entrant is required to present the judges a
