I've owned a Super Corsa and a Speciale Corsa, and personally, I'd repaint it if I were going to keep and ride it. It's not a "mint", completely original as it was purchased in the 60's bike as it is, so I think any perceived value in keeping the chips and dings is going to be minimal. Now, if it had 60's Nuovo Gran Sport, original wheels, etc., etc., I might have a different opinion.

Even repainted, it's still a one in a million bike that will get attention.
