In all the different types of art collecting, and I consider Lugers and antique cars as art, cars are the only field where a restoration will increase value, though as previously mentioned , this is slowly changing with new classes for unrestored cars appearing at important concurs such as Pebble Beach. Restoration of cars is understandable as many lived outside for a large portion of their lives and survived in comparatively poor condition. A larger number of Lugers were manufactured and a larger percentage of Lugers survived in good condition relative to comparable importance antique/vintage cars. To the enthusiasts, an unrestored work of art will always be more desirable then a comparable restored example.
