Tools to think clearly about classic motor cars.
Three instruments. A three-band indicative valuation, a finance and repayment calculator anchored to South African and UK reference rates, and a comparative market view that resolves the most-asked question in this trade: is the same car cheaper somewhere else, once everything is paid?
Indicative Valuation
Three bands · Concours · Excellent · Good
An open rule-based engine. Anchored to comparable medians per chassis code, adjusted for mileage, drive-side, matching numbers and service history. All adjustments shown on screen.
Finance calculator
SA prime · UK BoE base · 12–84 months
Two-market repayment view. Set price, deposit, term and rate; see monthly, total interest and an amortisation curve. Comparison strip shows the same loan run in the other market.
SA↔UK comparison
FX-adjusted · duty- and shipping-modelled
Pick a chassis. See median price in each market, the arbitrage net of shipping and import duty, and a 24-month indexed price trend. The chart that earns the name "Bloomberg for cars".
Liquidity score
Listings per month · median days to clear
Per chassis code. How long this car typically takes to sell, and how often. Useful when the question is not "what is it worth" but "what is it worth, in a hurry."
