Depreciation Insight
Understanding Bentley Pre‑War depreciation requires a look at how vintage vehicles appreciate or decline over time. Unlike modern cars, a well‑maintained 1922 Bentley can retain its value—or even increase—owing to limited supply and growing collector interest. Historically, the Bentley Pre‑War price may initially drop 5‑10% within the first year as it acclimates to the secondary market. After that, appreciation trends can see the vehicle gain 3‑5% per year, especially if the car is restored to original specs or retains its original documentation.
For example:
- First year: 5‑10% depreciation
- Years 2‑5: 3‑5% appreciation annually
- Beyond 5 years: 2‑4% growth per year when conditions remain pristine
These estimates reflect general patterns for pre‑war luxury marques. When evaluating a used Bentley Pre‑War price, insurers, restoration specialists, and auction houses advise factoring in mileage, originality, and any modern upgrades that may affect collectibility.
Comparison Context
Compared to pre‑war contemporaries like the Rolls‑Royce Silver Ghost or the Daimler Majestic, a 1922 Bentley trades unique engineering for historical prestige. While a Silver Ghost typically commands 10‑15% higher
