How grading works →

We don’t hold the scanned sheet for this lot. The auction house issues one for every car, so we can request it before you bid. Ask us and we’ll get it. The grade below comes from the auction house listing.

Repaired or modified

Panels have been repaired or replaced, or the car has been modified: a body kit, aero parts or a carbon wing can earn an R or RA on their own. Not necessarily an accident car; the inspector’s notes and the photos say which.
