Understanding how a classic like the TVR retains its value is crucial for buyers and collectors alike. Empirical studies and market data suggest that the TVR Classics depreciation follows a somewhat predictable curve:
- First year loss: Typically 15–20% of purchase price, reflecting initial market absorption and unseen mechanical wear.
- Year 2–5: An average decline of 10–12% per annum, as original owners upgrade or the vehicle settles into a niche collector’s market.
- Year 6+: Depreciation slows markedly; many models hold or even appreciate slightly, especially those in pristine condition or with historical provenance. For the 1979 TVR, a well‑maintained example can stabilize around an 8–10% annual loss.
