Depreciation insights for classic cars
- Initial depreciation: Classic cars like the 1934 Rolls‑Royce typically lose 15‑20% of their value within the first year of ownership—often a reflection of restoration, insurance, and registration costs.
- Mid‑life decline: Over the next three to five years, depreciation stabilizes to about 3‑5% per year once the vehicle is well-maintained and a clear provenance exists. <
