Congrats ...and sure it means something...it means your car was chosen as the best example of an original C3 and your recognized for maintaining it that way...I've always liked your car...well deserved.

If thats the case, then your 72 was overdue for recognition based on the pictures I've seen of your car Ian! Congrats! Guess you have an iPad2 - I have the first generation IPad - no camera option.

No matter what anybody says, it always feels good to receive recognition of your efforts. That is quite unusual to have a trophy for most original at a car show...yours must be in really great condition. Congratulations.
