Valuing classic, veteran and vintage cars

We can give you an independent and accurate valuation of any vehicle, however old it is and whatever condition it’s in.

It could be a vintage motorbike, a boat, a classic commercial vehicle, or a rare sports car.

Definitions are interesting in this category. ‘Veteran’ is commonly used to describe a car manufactured before the First World War. ‘Vintage’ and ‘Classic’ are more ambiguous and subjective terms.

A professional valuation can be extremely useful for insurance or probate purposes, for finance, for resale or for legal reasons.

The value of a classic car depends on many factors including the aesthetic condition, its mechanical condition, the mileage and the rarity of the model. Even the colour can have an impact on the value.

We can also value nearly new cars, which is more straightforward.

To give you an idea, the probate value of a vehicle is generally similar to the sale price that would be agreed between a private seller and buyer, rather than the price a dealer would charge.

We are happy to liaise with a Classic Car Auction house to help you sell your collection of valuable vintage, classic or veteran cars and other vehicles.

You pay an entry fee for your car/s to be listed in the auction, then you usually pay 5% + VAT of the price the car sells for, if the gavel goes down on an acceptable price.

We can usually value a vehicle by detailed photos and as much information as you can give us, rather than us having to see it in person.
