How the archive works
How we research →- Every number has a sourceClick any small number next to a figure to see exactly which document supports it.
- Different kinds of rarityModel, specification, colour, individual car, history and survival are rated separately – never mixed.
- Conflicts stay visibleWhen sources disagree, all figures are shown side by side with the reason. “Unknown” beats a guess.
- Every photo is checkedOnly freely licensed photos, each credited, and each one looked at to make sure it shows the right car.
