Does an English stock increase the value?

Only to those who like them. Many do not. During the production years , they were far less popular.

For many years, Ferrari employed the outside design firms, Bertone, and Pininfarina. Radically different outside appearances, but often, the same chassis and drivetrain were used.
At the New York Auto Show,Back in the early '80s, a very well known automotive writer was overheard to remark "There are two buyers of Ferraris. One is happy to sit and look at his car, and the other must drive his. Sadly, I will never be either, but if I could, I would do both. I would sit for hours and look at my Pininfarina, Then I would drive my Bertone."

So....what would you "drive"? Straight grip, pistol grip or POW's grip? Asking for a friend.

A heavier gun afield, PG. A light gun, in the open, such as walk-up, or sporting clays, a ST ST. I find I have better control with a PG if it's in the thick stuff.
