Classic Car Appraisal
Account for originality, restoration quality, provenance, condition, and collector-market evidence.
What This Appraisal Addresses
A classic vehicle’s age alone does not determine its value. The appraisal considers its configuration, originality, restoration work, condition, provenance, and the collector market appropriate to the assignment date.
This Service May Be A Fit When: A collector vehicle needs a documented value that reflects more than age and ordinary depreciation.
Evidence Considered
- Originality and documented changes

Questions About Classic Car Appraisal
Does An Appraisal Create Agreed-Value Coverage?
No. It may support an application, but coverage and any agreed value must be accepted and stated by the insurer.
Should I Provide Restoration Receipts?
Yes. They explain the work performed, although restoration spending does not necessarily convert dollar for dollar into market value.
