Exterior colour changes on classics?
Discussion
Ive always been under the impression that originality is best, to the extent that a change of exterior colour would probably negatively affect the value of the car.
Very interested to hear what you lot think as now Im not so convinced. For example, that DBS on For the Love of Cars had a complete colour change both inside and out and sold for a fortune. Ultimately the original colour can always be reapplied, and whether original or not, certain colours seem to appeal more than others.
Thoughts please!

I was asking about classics in general, really. Just used the DBS as an example.
For example, I have a Mercedes Pagoda which was originally maroon and is now blue. Is it worth less? Im also considering changing the colour of a 70's Porsche to a cool 70's colour rather than the original silver.
