Dr30 Colour Change Vs Maintaining Originality

[j-plus]

Your thoughts on colour change vs maintaining originality vs increasing DR30 values vs rarity??

Is the DR30 now or is it to become one of those cars where the above will (ever?) be viewed as important? Or will it be simply a case of overall condition to dictate values and desirability?

Background - slowly rebuilding my DR30 coupe and getting to paint stage. Goal here is a factory look, mildly modified very neat streeter.

Car is currently white - looking to repaint red over black.

I think if you keep it a factory paint scheme, and do it properly by painting all the door jams, boot and the engine bay you should be fine.

Painting it the latest flavour of the month yolo commodore color will ruin the car in my opinion.

Best of luck to you, its an absolute mission to paint an DR30 coupe, it's so hard to find new or good quality rubbers and fittings, especially the mirror triangles, and the rubbers between the rear qtr panel glass.
