Personally, I wouldn't own anything that was strictly a "show car," so the
point for paint originality wouldn't be an issue for me. Since any car I own
will be a driver, I'd be more interested in the protection and longevity of my
paint.
(I have nothing against cars that are for show, I just don't have the
self-control needed to avoid driving the hell out of something as fun as an MG
T.)
That said, a new paint job isn't at the top of my priorities at the moment,
either.
