As long as the car is repainted by Ferrari or a factory certified shop, I don’t see any issue with it. Also, no matter how hard you try, if you revert a repainted car back to its “original color”, you’re just repainting it again. It’s never going to be all original ever again, so you might as well just go with what you want, or what looks good.
I guess it really depends on the car. If possible, I’d rather do a high end wrap than full on repaint it; unless the paint is in bad shape obviously. However, you would think that it was all original with little miles at that kind of price point.
I don't care about keeping it original.. My originality would be to paint it black, with black wheels. Which is why I'm a fan of the customized F40's over any stock yellow or red one.
When you have a car that rare that comes up for sale every 3 to 5 years the money you'd lose on it being repainted will be gone by time another one hits the market
I once went to a Ferrari meet at a local Ferrari dealer in Northern Ireland, i couldn't believe it but there was an F50 there with the most faded looking, obviously original paint, it was literally pink, i was gobsmacked. Hopefully, it was restored, paint corrected (not repainted). Originality is king.
@@amacca2085 yep, that was a few years ago now, I think the F50 may have been from the Republic and had come up for the meet, it definitely shocked me how faded it looked, I am pretty sure it was used properly by the owner tho so kudos for that. It just really needed a good detail 👍

Yellow ???
It’s amazing. They will get touched. With reality. 😅
Why didn't you guys came across the murcielago test mule for the aventador ?
Because I haven’t sold it to them.

Was the car originally red or a different colour. If it was red I would think it’s less of a big deal as the VIN would still match.

Absolutely not. Keep that ferrari paint perfect!
Repaint could equal accident
Not at all. That’s why you should inspect car
These old heads putting all the weight on repaint are part of the problem
I think most people spending that kind of money would want all original.
On f50 seeing the carbon weave is always neat, I don’t know if us cars have it though
