What's your car
really worth?
Collector-car values hinge on matching numbers, originality and provenance. Assay blends live auction comparables with marque demand and condition to give a defensible fair value — for insurance, sale or simple curiosity.
How to value classic cars
For collector cars, originality is king: matching-numbers drivetrains, factory specification and documented history all push value up sharply.
Condition (concours vs driver), marque and model demand, and provenance (ownership, race history, awards) then set where in the range a car lands.
Assay anchors to realised auction comparables for the same marque and model, adjusts for condition and provenance, and returns a fair value with a confidence range you can take to an insurer or a buyer.
Matching numbers
Original, factory-correct drivetrains command a clear premium.
Condition tier
Concours, show, driver or project — each sits in a different band.
Marque & model demand
Desirability of the make and model moves the whole curve.
Provenance & history
Ownership, race results and awards can transform value.
