No worries, I often get confused myself where I am and where I'm supposed to be!
To be fair, maybe I've noticed it because I've recently helped a friend advertise and sell an unrestored 50s sportscar, and as well have been searching for a cheap resto project for myself.
On both the buying and selling side I've heard quite a lot of either asking or boasting about examples being "unmolested originals for restoration" seemingly more than usual.
Recently had a look around a Bonhams sale of PreWar motorcycles, a large collection of unrestored original bikes sold for 2x or 3x the estimates almost without exception.
Big article in Octane this month about "preserve or restore"... and so on.
Not saying the sky is falling, but it does make me a bit nervous about the shape of (unaffordable) things to come!
