Basics

What is a classic-car report?

A classic-car report documents the authenticity and condition of your classic. We determine the market value, the replacement value and, if needed, the restoration value.

The basis is a database with over 30,000 current classic-car prices and more than 50,000 international auction results since 1993.

  • As an insurance classification
  • As a basis for compensation in the event of loss or damage
  • As support for a sale

When do I need this?

Typical reasons for a classic-car report

  • H-Kennzeichen application

    For the H-Kennzeichen you need a valuation and condition report under §23 StVZO.

  • Insurance value certificate

    Specialist insurers require up-to-date valuations. We provide the right proof.

  • Buying, selling, collecting

    Classic-car prices are volatile. A well-founded report gives both sides confidence.
