What do you consider the word 'Restored' to mean?

For me, I always considered “restored” as meaning brought back to some previous condition that it isn’t in now. That point of previous condition is up to the restorer to decide what it is.

It might mean as it came off the showroom floor, as it was a few months later with “day 2” mods or even as it was years later...or whatever.

The point is to make it true to that point in its history in order to call it “restored”.

Otherwise, if things are refreshed and changed to be different than the actual history of the vehicle, I consider that it is now rebuilt and/or modified...IMO.
