Explanation OF SACLASSICS VALUATION CODES/CRITERIA
Class 1: Concourse
Class 1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colours and
perfectly clean. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and all materials
used are correct and superbly fitted. – IT STANDS THE CHANCE TO BE THE WINNER AT ANY CONCOURS EVENT!
Class 2: Excellent
Class 2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They can be former class 1 vehicles that have been
driven or have aged. Experts will have to look closely for flaws but will be able to find some not seen by
the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke
will be seen on start-up, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine. The vehicle will drive as a new
vehicle of its era would.
Class 3: Good
Class 3 vehicles could possess some flaws, but not all the issues of a Class 4 vehicle, but they will be
balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior where applicable. Class 3
vehicles drive and run well but might have some incorrect parts. These vehicles are not used for daily
transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses.
Class 4: Fair
These vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or
scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor
dent. Split seams or a cracked dash might be present. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could
differ from the originals, or other non-stock additions might be present. A Class 4 vehicle can also be a
deteriorated restoration.
Class S: Modified Vehicle
These vehicles are daily drivers but must be roadworthy with a paid-up license. They could be in excellent
good or fair condition, but because they are “Kit Cars”, Reproduction Vehicles or highly modified vehicles
like Hot Rods/Street Rods we must place them in their own special class. Class S vehicles could have
modified/upgraded engines, gearboxes and differentials or fitted with modern parts from different
vehicles. Value is mostly determined by the cost of building these vehicles / or price from company that
built them
