He explains: “To me, a great photographer is someone who sees beyond solely an image; they see an image that tells a story, just as an artist does. This is in my top 10 motoring books of all time. Whenever I look through it I get drawn in.” One of the most commonly asked questions by car buyers in the UK is ‘how much is my car worth?’ Here you will be able to find that out using industry-trusted pricing data. Our valuations assume the car has some minor damage, like a small stain on the seat or a scratch on the bumper. If the damage is any more significant than this, it's likely to reduce the value of the car.

Normally we allow about 50-60% of the original option value after the first year. However, after five years the value of options is reduced to around 20-25% and at around 7 years, options add little or no value to the vehicle [ but can make it easier to sell]. At Parkers, our car valuation guide only lists the options that do increase a car’s value – helping you to calculate a more realistic price. Ben reflects: “This was hugely appreciated as a new book, but now it’s gone out of fashion and not so many people ask for it. It’s a fascinating story – Donaldson knew Villeneuve incredibly well, and I would still argue that he was one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. When it comes to damage, because the amount of variables is so great, there is no fixed pricing structure or formula. For example, a car with panel damage, kerbed alloys etc will fall into the ‘Private Poor’ category. A car which has only minor damage [failed electric windows is a good example] should obtain a pricing level just below ‘Private Good’. Normally, a price somewhere in the middle ground between ‘Private Good’ and ‘Private Poor’ will be a good indication but ultimately, it’s down to the amount of damage or the amount of non-working items the car has. Coffee table books heavy on library pics, light on expert copy and published in their thousands are just charity shop fare...

A: We used to offer historic valuation data many years ago but as the uptake was very small, this was discontinued in 2011 Q: How much can options affect your valuation? With Auto Trader, you can get an independent valuation that is only driven by data.

A: As a rule, cars with higher mileages have lower values because they generally have more wear and tear. But this one of several factors decide a car’s value – these include the service history, general condition, any optional features fitted, and how rare or desirable the model is. Q: Are my valuations saved in my Parkers user profile account? We cover vans and light commercials from and including 2008/08 plate [March 2008] onwards currently to 2023/73. There are some particularly good choices for turning a profit, "The complete history of the BMW M3" being one of them Ben says: “Doug Nye is one of the greatest motoring authors of all-time, and this was produced in conjunction with Gordon Murray and Ron Dennis. With all those people involved it was always going to be a classic, and provide the true inside story of the car. It has interesting, good- quality illustrations, and is a nice large format.” Many books on Ferraris are a criminal waste of trees,” says Doug Nye, historian, journalist and author of more than 70 motor racing books. So horrified was he by the quality of motoring books that GP Library, the photographic archive he co-owns with former racer Paul Vestey, has just published its first book, created, Nye says, “to set new standards”.Horton cites Bentley specialist Clare Hay, whose limited-edition, model-specific books get you up close to a model. Top publishers include Dalton Watson, Number One Press and Palawan Press, which was founded by Simon Draper, cousin of Richard Branson and former chairman of Virgin Music. After that company’s takeover by EMI in 1992 Draper went motor racing. The same year he published his first book, Aston Martin – The Compleat Car. “In its design and the quality of the paper and binding, it was a labour of love,” says Draper. Handbooks and vehicle build sheets have always been in demand, but now people expect to find this kind of detail in books. Information that will help them buy, own and sell a special car, or satisfy a desire to get as close as possible to it, is what people crave.” A: Absolutely, yes. We’re more than happy to assist with any questions you have regarding the valuation of your vehicle although we don’t offer a one-to-one telephone support service. This is a really fresh look at Enzo Ferrari’s life and Ferrari as a company,” says Ben. “By doing this so many years after Enzo passed, you get what you would like to think is the true story. As time goes on, people are probably more honest in their opinions of the man, and I think you’ll get a far truer account [from this] than if you had read Enzo’s book on himself, or one of the early biographies from someone formerly employed by Ferrari.”

Sorry, we have no data on the valuation of caravans or motorhomes. Q: How does mileage affect a car’s value? Usually, the fewer owners the more a car is worth. So, if a car has been sold many times before it can reduce the value. A waft of books have even been included in our other editions of our car gift guides. Our BMW gift guide for example has a book dedicated to the Motorsports division and a book covering its motorcycle history. The best car books at a glance: A car with a complete record of all services can be worth more than one that has gaps in the service history.

A: Category C – Now ‘CAT S’ (Structural). An extensively damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road.
