That's what the Millenium Concours Judging Handbook says at least!

I'd say quite high actually... Mine is an October built 1981,
VIN# 05141 and also has the Pullstraps in the door.

But what's funny on mine is that BOTH of my doors have NEWER
build dates than the car; one is from November 3rd, the other 4th...

So I THINK Mine's been at a QAC too for some time, because as
far as I know, no new(er) doors or trimpanels have been fitted
since at least 15 years or so...
