Colour correctors

• 

Just another note on the RM Sothebys sale, that took place in Arizona two days ago. We did tell you about the Tucker Torpedo that got hammered down there on Thursday. And it did make strong money ($1,347,500), despite not having its original paint colour as well as its original interior. Looking at what else was on offer in Arizona, we noticed that some more cars had remarkable repaints. This 300 SL may have been improved in colour over its original light metallic blue. But how about this 1953 Mercedes 220 that now comes in a somewhat odd two-tone metallic paint scheme? Or this 1963 Lincoln Continental that was repainted in satin black? What is your opinion? Is only the original colour good enough, or are you allowed to improve on that?
