Key Factors We Consider Sample Clauses

Key Factors We Consider a) In the case where a vehicle model has VIN stamped or numbers matching engines, transmissions, and/or other drivetrain components, the original components must be in the vehicle. i) In models where vehicles did not have serialized engine numbers that can be matched to the chassis, casting numbers and an expert opinion must be provided to verify that engine is original to car. ii) In the case where a vehicle model has VIN stamped or numbers matching body panels, the original components must be on the vehicle. b) We place a high premium on limited production vehicles. Vehicles with total production over 2,000 units will be considered based on exceptional mileage, originality or history. c) If a vehicle is represented as restored there must be documentation (either photographs or invoices) supporting that fact. d) Vehicles must be in their original factory delivered colors. Vehicles not painted or upholstered in their original colors, but rather painted or upholstered in a period factory available color, may be considered on a case-by-case basis. e) Vehicle history must be documented from new without gaps larger than 20% of the vehicles age. E.g. a 60-year old vehicle cannot have gaps in history larger than 12 years. i) The "Ownership Ratio" = (Current Year - Vehicle Model Year) / Number of Owners must be > 4.5, otherwise may be considered on a case-by-case basis. ii) An affidavit from a previous private owner may be accepted on case-by-case basis for single owner vehicles with gaps in history or vehicles with undocumented celebrity provenance.
