Once upon a time, long ago, when I was single, I had a nice red E-Type SII roadster. I was also a club officer and had charge of our club tent, tables, banners, etc., including the club van to haul it all in. I showed the E-Type regularly in "Driven" class due to some potent engine modifications, and won many trophies. It was difficult getting the car and the van both to shows, so I bought a red open car hauler to tow behind the club van. When I checked-in at the first show (in a neighboring state) with my "Driven" E-Type, I was told that I could not enter "Driven" because I had towed the car there. It did not matter that the trailer was open and that I had to wash and clean the bugs and crud off th car anyway. I had just spent about 10 large on the car with body work, new paint, new chrome, new wheels, etc., and scored lower at that show than any I ever entered. That was the last Concour entry for the E-Type. While the new rule would have allowed me to continue to show in my original "Driven" class, it does not address the difference in trailers. The point of this tyrade is that, if you take a "Driven" car on an open trailer, it should still be in "Driven" class, solving the transport issue. The 'trailer queens' should still be moved in their expensive climate controled, dust-proof, burgler alarmed palaces on wheels.
