Thanks for your replies! Reid, if based now on "actual sales" there is the potential for one very large sale to skew the results.....I guess in general I would prefer the former manner of market value as being more accurate.
That said...since I have a BN6....I'm SURE this greater value is highly accurate! :joyous:

Yes, $66,000.00 for either one (100-M w/complete LeMans kit - $82,900.00...).Do they have a price listing for BN1's and BN2's in the price guide?

That would be a particularly nice trick since all 640 100M's were '56's. You could have a '55 BN1 with a LeMans Kit but it would not in fact be an "M"Yes, indeed it does result in some skewing. The value guide originally named Cars That Matter but that is now published by Hagerty Collector Car Insurance once showed a 1955 100M as having a value of something like $175,000 while a 1956 100M was listed at a value of only $90,000. Obviously this was based on just a couple of auction results, but to the uninformed it would look like a 100M made in 1955 was worth nearly twice what the ones made after the 1955 Christmas break were worth.
I wonder if anyone with a 100M that was made in November 1955 but registered as a 1956 model went back to their local DMV, armed with a BHIMT certificate, and insisted on changing the model year of their 100M back to 1955. After all, it would double the value of their car!
