Minimum production volume

While the suggested minimum volume we have chosen is 200 identical vehicles, this number needs further discussion with stakeholders. The intent was to prevent very low volume "hand-made" race cars which were almost always not available to the public and also to eliminate very low volume dealer specials, largely because these did not reflect the cars of the day, and in many cases, had varying specifications within the low numbers built (e.g. Stewart turbo Celicas). The suggested value of 200 however was thought to be large enough to allow some volume models like the HDT enhanced Commodores, to be included should their owners be so interested.

One comment

  • there are multiple possible "numbers" that could be used here. The intent was to find a number (quantity) that excluded very low volume models built solely or mainly for race purposes, and not exclusively sold the the manufactueres dealer newtwork.  we really need informed comment from owners or would-be owners, of some low volume cars, be they Hodens, Ford, Alfas, Fiats , Nissans etc etc.  it seems many OEM made such cars and the challenge is deciding which to include and which to exlcude
