[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 113442, member: 60"] For my 10% max I was just using Bonhams records. For instance at Stafford in Oct a 51 Rapide sold for £ 26,450 with some doubt about numbers, ie, a good riders basis the sort of thing that I would snap up if I needed one. The key thing is by the stated mileage and pictures [U] it had not been used [/U] [U]or touched since[/U] it was bought at Bonhams in 2012 for £31,050 so thats about 15% drop . But (and this shows how easy comparisons are difficult) in the first sale the discrepancy in the numbers was not mentioned while they were in the second. The other points are 1. we are in that example looking at values over 7 years I have no doubt that using a shorter measure a larger fall might be quoted but realistically one owns a Vincent for a longer span than a year or so. 2. Its worth taking inflation into account which is what I tried to do in the charts 1955-2017 at the back of my book [I]The Black Shadow[/I]. I think a little research is worth a lot of scuttle-buck.
