Wrong Car Colour!

Can anyone help? I recieved a parking ticket today. How "legal" is my parking ticket if the Warden has put the colour of my old Suzuki run-a-round as 'BLUE' when in fact it is PURPLE.
Violently purple!! :eek:
All other info about the car is correct, Make, Reg., etc but the colour is wrong.
My instinct tells me I might be able to challenge this, what do others think??

    you haven't said if its a private parking ticket or a council one
    Excel Parking, MET Parking, Combined Parking Solutions, VP Parking Solutions, ANPR PC Ltd, & Roxburghe Debt Collectors. What do they all have in common?
    They are all or have been suspended from accessing the DVLA database for gross misconduct!
    Do you really need to ask what kind of people run parking companies?
  • Sorry, it's a council one issued by South Lanarkshire Council.

    What i may suggest, is go to a site called https://www.pepipoo.com and ask the same question there. They have gentlemen there who know council law.
    Backwards. And thank you to them.

    Regrettably colour not an appeal point however there are many other ones, pcn incorrect, lines and signs wrong etc. If you copy/photo the pcn, both sides, remove personal details, host on tinypic. Copy/paste the url and put it into a post then remove the http:// bit.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
