Depreciation Insight

Car depreciation is a quantifiable metric that aficionados track closely. A typical 1963 Hillman Other Models will:

  • Lose about 15‑20 % of its original value in the first year after purchase
  • Maintain an extra 5‑10 % of its value over the next two years, thanks to its recognizable heritage
  • Drop roughly 30‑35 % in total value by the third year in the market
  • Show a cumulative depreciation of approximately 55‑60 % after five years, assuming regular maintenance and modest mileage
  • Then, for classic, high‑condition models, depreciation typically slows, preserving about 10‑15 % of its original price in markets where collectors actively trade 1960s Hillmans

These figures are rounded estimates. They confirm that the Hillman Other Models depreciation rate is roughly in line with comparable classic marques such as the Hillman Minx, but significantly lower than many contemporaries like the early Ford Cortina or Beetle.
