The new-look Black Book is unveiled with the December 2003 edition, which features more than 600,000 used car prices, over 300 extra pages to accommodate more data, a radically redesigned layout for ease of use and details on more than 20,000 used car derivatives.

Market research and field testing was carried out during the development phase for the new-look Black Book with hundreds of existing users consulted before a final design layout was agreed.

Black Book data is also available in electronic Windows-based format and in raw data ASCII form, enabling full integration into users' own back office and vehicle management systems.
