Collector Score grades a car across eight factors — condition, originality, service history, rarity, provenance, restoration, colour and modifications — giving you a consistent way to understand where it sits, not a single opaque number.
Each dimension is graded individually, then combined into a single score that gives quick, consistent context — useful for comparing your own cars, or understanding how one compares to its matched listings.
The vehicle's mechanical and cosmetic state, from the details recorded in its record and documentation.
How much of the car remains as it left the factory — original components, finish and specification.
How complete the service record is, plus specialist servicing and surviving original manuals.
How uncommon the specific generation, variant or special edition is within the wider market.
Documented ownership history, notable past owners, and the completeness of the paper trail.
Whether the car is an original survivor or restored, and how well-documented that restoration is.
How desirable the car's factory colour is to collectors of that model.
Whether any deviations from factory spec add to, or take away from, collector appeal.
Collector Score is a structured, consistent way to compare vehicles — it is not a precise mathematical formula or a certified appraisal, and it should be treated as a reference point rather than a guarantee of value or sale price. See our full terms.
No. Collector Score is a structured way to grade a car across eight factors and give context to where it sits relative to comparable vehicles. It informs the estimated market value shown in Car Intelligence, but it is not a certified appraisal or a guaranteed sale price.
Condition, originality, service history, rarity, provenance, restoration, colour desirability and modifications. Each is graded individually, and together they produce the overall Collector Score shown on a vehicle's record.
The score is generated from the details you record about a vehicle — condition, documentation, provenance and specification — combined with comparable market data. The more complete a vehicle's record, the more informative its score.
