Indeed Mr Grimwood, why wouldn't it. The COD is a description of the car as presented. Nowhere in the COD form is the question asked....'IS THIS THE ORIGINAL'......brakes, body, suspension, engine etc et. The question asked is....'IS THIS COMPONENT TO THE ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION'.....quite different. You could say that C2's specification was 'TO THE ORIGINAL SPECIFICATION'. If there was a variation to the original specification the reason for departure was asked.
