Trains and buses are often restored to the original authentic livery of their original owner. Cosmetic restoration wikt cosmetic Cosmetic restoration of a vehicle or building refers to the restoration of its appearance, rather than its functionality or structure. For example, restoring the bodywork of an automobile, but not the engine or running gear. It is usually undertaken when the vehicle is destined for long term static display, or particularly for railway locomotives when full restoration will take much time to complete and a coat of paint will help protect the metal from further corrosion. The term is also used where a fully functioning vehicle only needs its appearance improved.

Vehicle remarketing is the controlled disposal of fleet and leasing vehicles that have reached the end of their fixed lease term. In vehicle leasing , after the lease expires, the lessee either returns the vehicle to the supplier or buys it. The vehicles that are not purchased by the driver become an unwanted asset for the fleet or leasing company because of vehicle depreciation and they look to channel intermediaries to relinquish the stock on their behalf quickly and in high volumes. Remarketing can be done to trade or to consumers. Key performance indicators key performance indicators for vehicle remarketing are the disposal price achieved, usually in reference to a trade guide price such as CAP Clean in the UK or Black Book in Canada and the days to sell, which is the number of days between end of lease and disposal of the car. Different remarketing routes targeting different customers are available and offer different options regarding these KPI. Remarketing to trade End of lease vehicles that are not purchased by the lessee have traditionally been remarketed through wholesale vehicle auctions such as Manheim Auctions , British Car Auctions or Aston Barclay in the UK. During a car dealer auction , the vehicles are typically sold to car dealerships who in turn will retail them to consumers.

For example, Briggs Cunningham s business was classified as a hobby by the United States tax officials because he did not manufacture enough of each model for the Cunningham automobile to be considered a production vehicle, but rather they classified them as high performance prototype automobiles built as racecars .

Refimprove date June 2007 File T 90 snorkel.jpg thumb Russian T 90 tank with wading snorkel erected A vehicle snorkel is the land based equivalent of the submarine snorkel which allowed submarines to use diesel engines while submerged. Snorkels, when used by vehicles with air breathing internal combustion engines , allow limited deep fording capability for river crossing or amphibious landing operations. Military wheeled vehicles, like Jeep s, are capable of mounting snorkels for the air intake and engine exhaust, to allow them to wade through relatively deep water, limited by the height of the driver s head. In the case of a Jeep, all of the engine openings and wiring are sealed, and the driver must first operate a damper that over pressures the engine vacuum , to prevent water from entering. After fording, the vehicle s wheel Bearing mechanical bearing s must be repacked with new lubricants. Tracked military vehicles such as tanks and Armoured personnel carrier armored personnel carriers generally operate with all hatches sealed and the crew fully enclosed by the vehicle. Such snorkelling equipment is available as an aftermarket automotive aftermarket accessory for some civilian four wheel drive vehicles . The snorkel is typically routed out through one of the front wings and up beside the A pillar to the level of the roofline where it is terminated with either a mushroom intake or a forward facing intake.
