I believe the rule is that if it ran in whatever country it is in with tobacco sponsorship in period, it can stay
If it didn’t - you can’t retrofit.

Historic F1 cars have to run in the livery they ran with in period. The car won't be issued with FIA HTP papers unless it is using the correct livery.
The Shadow I run has tobacco sponsorship as part of its livery and runs with that at every event except one, where the event rules specify no tobacco livery can be used.
I know someone who hill climbed a lotus and tried to run it in JPS livery - but was told off by scrutinisers - so had to take the tobacco advertising off even though the livery per se was ok
But the gold leaf livery it had in period would have been ok - tobacco and pl.
Eccleatone got a good deal there
All seems jolly convienient....

Sold to Bernie Ecclestone. After the buyer’s premium was added, the final price paid by Ecclestone was €4,197,500.
That sounds like a bargain to me, I'm staggered it wasn't in the tens. Still. What do I know but maybe it shows that there aren't so many people out there interested in these cars as we might imagine.
