How SCI works
Collector quality and evidence are separate. Structural collector factors carry 75%; observable market factors carry 25%.
Methodology & score historyResearch notes
Publication gates
No open SCI publication gate.
Rationale
• 3 comparable USD sales underpin the current 84-month benchmark.
• Observed benchmark CAGR is +26% across the longest suitable 2–6 year comparison window.
• Scarcity uses a conservative production base of approximately 272 vehicles.
• Source-backed current-market evidence sits +9252.1% versus the researched launch MSRP in the same currency.
• Collector Evidence G contributes source-backed structural evidence from 5 independent sources; it does not substitute for transaction evidence.
• SCI 1.5 separates structural collectibility from evidence confidence: scarcity, collector significance and future relevance carry 75% of SCI; observable market factors carry 25%. Thin public-market evidence primarily reduces Confidence rather than intrinsic collector quality.
