Swallow Doretti Price Guide

The price guide will give you an indication of the value of a particular car. However there is not a specific set of criteria governing the valuation of a car or its purchase price. Many factors influence a car's value apart from its overall condition; e.g. whether it is right or left-hand drive or has been converted from one to the other. Possession of the original registration number and documentation is very important. Original logbook(s), old MoT's, a current V5 document and MoT test certificate will add value, while a full and unbroken service history will also greatly enhance the price.
