THE ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE HISTORIC AND CLASSIC MOTOR INDUSTRY IN THE UK

27 4.5 Results by model As referenced above, the main model driving Porsche’s highest total value is the stock of Porsche 911s. The 23,029 classic 911s are worth an estimated £911 million – more than double the second place Jaguar E Type (£370 million), and more than the entire stock from any other manufacturer 11 . This comparison is slightly misleading because Porsche have sold a model called the 911 since 1964 and clearly the 2020 version is very different from the 1964 version, whereas the E Type was only manufactured from 1961 to 1975. Along with these, other key models with a high total value include the Austin/Rover Minis (£309 million ), BMW 3 Series (£293 million) and MG MGB (£2 36 million). The results for the top 30 are presented below.
