About

Valuations by a specialist, not an algorithm.

Classic Car Valuation is led by Nick Aitken, a specialist with over two decades in the UK classic market. Every report is researched and written by hand, drawing on real sales, auction results and first-hand knowledge of the cars themselves.

The result is a valuation you can stand behind, whether for insurers, solicitors, HMRC, or simply your own peace of mind.

01

Independent

No dealership, no auction house, no agenda, just an impartial assessment of what your car is really worth. We don’t buy or sell the cars we value, so the figure answers to the evidence and nothing else.

02

Evidence-based

Every figure is built from comparable UK sales, auction results and live market data, with the reasoning set out in full, so insurers, solicitors and HMRC can see exactly how we reached it.

03

Experienced

Over two decades of valuing and trading classic cars informs every report, from pre-war classics to modern collectables. For those looking to buy or sell, our sister company That’s Classic specialises in the sale of classic motor cars.

★★★★☆

“Really knew his stuff and the valuation held up perfectly. Only small thing: you fill in a form that arrives by email rather than on the site itself, and doing it all in one place would be handy. The report more than made up for it.”
