What to verify before making an offer

Ask for the artist’s letter and period photographs. Confirm how much of the finish survives and whether any later repaint preserved it.

Documented auction results

If you’re deciding what to offer, start with transactions for cars of similar specification and history. Check the sale date, condition, and whether the price included buyer’s premium.

Selected source records in the original currency. Fees, specification, and condition can differ between sales.
