Market Watch

Everyday we scour the Internet looking for interesting cars for sale, and then share the best ones here. We try to find cars that appeal to a wide range of budgets and tastes and in all conditions.

Do you have a classic Volvo to sell?Any
First seen 15/04/2024

We are seeking classic Volvos from the 70s, 80s and 90s. If you have a classic Volvo from this era sitting around in a barn or garage or indeed one that you use regularly, please let us know. We are particularly interested in low mileage original cars. See the original advert on the dealer's website

Classic Car Prices Continue To FallAny
First seen 08/02/2024

We are seeing at the start of 2024 a similar picture to what we experienced in 2023 with prices for most marques losing some ground. It is almost inevitable given the difficult macroeconomic backdrop and the fact that prices have risen strongly for a decade or more. We suspect prices will continue to experience a slow drop over the coming year, but if interest rates start to fall as the year progresses it may well be that prices will start to stabilise. This does not stop us buying good quality cars with the right provenance. We are also very interested in restoration projects, but they must be a complete car, not a stalled restoration that has been partially dismantled. If you have a restoration sitting in your garage that has not seen the light of day for many years, please do call us as we are very interested in a car in any condition whether it be a full restoration of just a recommissioning project, but it must be a complete car See the original advert on none

Prices continue to consolidate40,000
First seen 16/01/2023

The market is very mixed as we begin 2023. Lots of factors are at play. Firstly classic car prices have been rising for many years and a period of consolidation and price falls is inevitable. That is happening now, although some marques are still enjoying modest price appreciation. However, many are experiencing outright falls. The cost of living crisis is weighing heavily on many peoples budgets and classic cars are being sold to alleviate financial pressures. This is resulting in much more supply and with demand being slow, prices have only one way to go. Plus the proliferation of auction houses even now means many of them are bringing low quality cars to market which achieve poor prices and those results are being seen as the new benchmark which in many cases is unfair as the cars that have been sold are low quality. The good news is The Classic Car Network is still buying cars and if you have a good quality car with the right provenance we will pay a good price for it. We are also still buying restoration projects, so if you have a car sitting in your barn, do submit its details as we may well come and make you an offer!

Broad based market weakness continues
First seen 16/12/2019

Auction houses continue to struggle with achieving respectable sale rates and undoubtedly this is due to an element of vendors seeking prices that are no longer attainable along with a subdued market. E-types which were once the darling of the classic car market are struggling more than most. The reason is simply because they have risen very quickly to levels that cannot be sustained. The exceptionally high prices of four or five years ago resulted in a huge influx of overseas left hand drive cars, many of which have been converted to right hand drive. The end result is over supply which puts downward pressure on prices. At the recent Bonhams RAF museum sale a 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Coupe sold for £44k. Go back five years and people were willing to pay almost twice that for a barn find restoration! The moral of the story is to price your car correctly in line with current market trends and you will then still find willing buyers. To achieve sales whether it be by auction, privately or indeed to the trade requires realistic asking prices. We are still buying good examples of cars and we are prepared to pay good prices for the right cars. Please do contact us today if we have a classic that you want to sell. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

Triumph values continue to slip
First seen 16/09/2019

It is notable how the market is changing quite rapidly for some cars. Triumph cars such as the TR6 and TR5 have been very much in vogue in recent years with values of the TR5 chased ever higher with some fetching values in excess of £50k three to four years ago. That has certainly changed and two examples sold at the August Anglia Car Auctions sale for around the £28,000. TR6 values have followed suit and although there are still plenty of examples on the market for over £20k, our data shows that the true value now lies at below £20,000 unless the car is exceptional. Prices of many makes and models have overheated in recent years and we see the current price consolidation as a healthy development. We are still cash buyers for Triumph cars and in particular we are still seeking TR6 so if you have a car for sale do please get in touch and we promise a swift valuation and sale at a good price. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

Flat Floor E-type at Bonhams £74,166
First seen 04/12/2018

If you go back to 2013/14 you could expect to be paying £150,000 plus for a home market right hand drive E-Type flat floor roadster which makes the price of this car which was sold yesterday quite surprising. According to the narrative it is a restored example and there is nothing to suggest it isn't a matching numbers car which means it was bought at half price or perhaps market values have re-based downwards. It could well be a bargain, but it does show the top end of the market continues to weaken. If you are thinking of selling please do talk to us first to establish the correct value for your car before you go to market. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

TR6£32500
First seen 25/06/2018

The market is suffering at present from a glut of cars that are being overpriced and consequently sitting on the market for months and sometimes over a year. The market is stagnating in many cars mainly because asking prices are unrealistic. We see many instances at present of people placing their cars on the market at world record levels because a car has been sold at auction for the same price. There are usually unique reasons why the auction car has done well and the decision to price cars so highly on the retail market is resulting in them remaining unsold for prolonged periods of car. This is one such example which was first listed in April 2017 and is still on the market. Good cars priced realistically will sell, but anything else will sit on the market.

Latest auction surprises
First seen 05/10/2017

We have two picks from the latest auctions run by Historics and Classic Car Auctions. The first is £42,560 paid for a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 2 which was part of a deceased estate. The narrative shows the mileage to be 24,623 which we are assuming was warranted and the car was a one owner from new. Once again this shows the kind of premium a low mileage and original car can command which must be a record for one of these. The other result at Classic Car Auctions was a huge £72050 paid for a 1991 Audi Quattro turbo 20 Valve manual which was again a low mileage example with just 32,233 miles which really shows that even in more difficult market conditions the right cars are still highly sought after. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

MG SA£15000
First seen 20/04/2017

This MG SA which is being sold for restoration from a deceased estate looks like good value at £15,000. With top examples now selling for in excess of £50,000 there is ample scope to spend money on the car and bring it up to roadworthy standard. See the original advert on carandclassic

MGBGT£18,975
First seen 21/03/2017

What price a £47k restoration? That was the question potential buyers of an MGBGT at the Bonhams Goodwood Members meeting asked themselves. The car had been subjected to £47,000 worth of body restoration and the fitting of a reconditioned engine. We had an opportunity to view the car and it was by no means concours and the drivers door fit didn't look that flush. Nevertheless it was a nice looking car and someone decided to pay nearly £19,000 for the car which is quite likely a world record but in our view a little high despite the huge expenditure on the car. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

1984 Alfa Romeo Spider£12,000
First seen 28/12/2016

Low mileage and original cars continue to attract a premium and this Alfa Romeo seems to tick those boxes. The value also seems a little low and this car could be worth upwards of £15,000 if the car is in good order. See the original advert on carandclassic

Triumph GT6£10,500
First seen 11/11/2016

Fully rebuilt Triumph GT6s have been commanding some big premiums at auction in recent years and prices upwards of £17k have been possible. If this car is a full nut and bolt rebuild to a high standard the new owner might well be getting it a a very reasonable rate. See the original advert on carandclassic

BMW 3.0CSL£79,995
First seen 09/11/2016

Go back 12 months and the price of this car might look expensive, but in fact we believe it looks cheap. With only 500 right hand drive versions made, the scarcity factor has pushed good examples to over £100k as evidenced by the £102k paid for an example at the Bonhams Goodwood sale earlier this year. A restoration sold for over £60k at Bonhams Beaulieu sale which makes this car a potential bargain. See the original advert on carandclassic

Aston Martin DBS 6 Vantage£97,500
First seen 29/02/2016

This Aston Martin DBS 6 Vantage looks very cheap at £97,500. Given the rarity of Vantage spec cars and the fact that you can pay almost this amount for a normal DBS car we would not expect this example to remain on sale for very long. This car could conceivably be worth considerably more than the asking price. See the original advert on carandclassic

1987 Porsche 928S Auto£8,000
First seen 22/02/2016

Eighties and nineties classics are really starting to gather some momentum now and for those seeking cars with the potential for capital appreciation the Porsche 924, 928 and 944 series cars still offer very good value. This 928 S might need some cosmetic attention according to the advert but if the mechanics check out it looks like a good buy at the asking price of £8000. See the original advert on carandclassic

1974 Triumph Dolomite Sprint£5,750
First seen 20/01/2016

Good examples of the Triumph Dolomite Sprint are hard to come by and top examples can fetch over £8,000. We were drawn to this particular as the condition appears to be superb whilst the price tag is very low. At £5,750 this car appears to be a bargain and you get 0-60 in just 9.1 seconds for your money! See the original advert on carandclassic

1951 Austin A90 Atlantic Saloon Coupe£6,950
First seen 06/01/2016

The Austin Atlantic is quite a rare car and even average examples can sell for around the £16k mark. This car is clearly in need of some recommissioning work but even so at the price of £6,950 it looks a bargain if the bodywork is sound and the interior is all there. See the original advert on carandclassic

1969 Volvo P1800S£23,000
First seen 04/01/2016

The Volvo P1800 has been a popular classic in recent years and prices have reflected that. The P1800S is arguably the most desirable and the car on offer here has the later 2 litre engine. It is also a low mileage example with 42,000 miles on the clock. The price is about right at around £23,000, but we would not be surprised to see this example sell relatively quickly given its originality, low mileage and desirable spec. See the original advert on carandclassic

1975 Alfa Romeo Montreal£69,000
First seen 20/12/2015

Today's car is chosen simply because of its rarity. During recent years we have seen many examples of where rare right hand drive variants of cars with relatively large production runs command a significant premium over their left hand driver counterparts. The Alfa Romeo Montreal is one such example where out of a production run of around 3,500 cars only 180 cars were made in right hand drive form. The prices of top left hand drive Montreal's have risen significantly in recent years, especially in the US. With such limited sales of right had drive cars due to their rarity, prices of these cars have been playing catchup to the left hand drive cars. On the continent we have seen good left hand drive cars being regularly advertised for around £70,000. The right hand drive car we are showing today is priced at £69,000 and this is only the second right hand drive car to come to market this year according to our records. The price seems quite fair given the rarity factor and this price does not seem to incorporate any right hand drive premium. See the original advert on carandclassic

1968 Triumph TR5£21,690
First seen 08/12/2015

Today's classic car choice is a TR5 that requires restoration. Prices of TR5s this year have risen considerably and a fully restored example that is correct and has been done to a high standard can easily command in excess of £40,000. This car is priced around the £20,000 mark and we would expect it to be snapped up quickly given the potential to build value into the car. See the original advert on carandclassic

1949 Riley RMC Roadster£25,000 - £30,000
First seen 05/12/2015

Today's car pick is one that is coming to a Bonhams auction which is being held on the 10th December at the RAF Museum in Hendon. The car in question is a Riley RMC Roadster which is one of just 100 right hand drive cars that were built. According to our records, the last example of one of these cars was sold in Belgium earlier this year. The listed price was over £40,000 which would make the estimate on this car of £25,000 to £30,000 look quite conservative. The car appears to be in superb condition and at the very least we would expect it to achieve something close towards the top end of its estimate and possibly more given the car's rarity. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

1966 Triumph Herald 1200 Convertible£3,450
First seen 03/12/2015

We could not help but notice this Triumph Herald 1200 which at least from the pictures appears to be in sound condition. A top example of a 1200 convertible can command as much as £8000 today which leaves plenty of room in the price of this car to improve it should work be required. See the original advert on carandclassic

1966 Triumph Spitfire Mk 2£6,750
First seen 08/11/2015

This Triumph Spitfire MK 2 looks very competitively priced at £6750. A good example can command £12,000 to £14,000 and if this car is clear of rot and is just in need of some mechanical work as suggested by the advert, there is plenty of room to invest in the car and build value into it. See the original advert on carandclassic

1962 Jaguar E-type Series 1 3.8 RHD£94,000
First seen 27/10/2015

The UK market has suffered from a big influx of left hand drive cars especially among Jaguar E-Types chasing ever increasing values. Left hand drive asking prices have rightly or wrongly been very close to the much rarer right hand drive cars, but whether they have achieved these prices is another matter. An early series 1 E-Type that is correct and in right hand drive can easily command above the £100k level and we were therefore surprised to see this 1962 car in Germany which according to the advert is a matching numbers right hand drive car. The price tag of £94,000 looks good value in the current market for a right hand drive car, especially if there is room for negotiation. See the original advert on carandclassic

1979 Ford Capri 2.0S£4,500
First seen 07/09/2015

The prices of Ford Capri cars have been very strong over the last eighteen months or so but now and then a car will come to market that looks to have been undervalued by the vendor and this series 3 car looks to be a case in point. It appears to be in good order and with just 35,000 miles on the clock and having the 2.0 engine the price should be nearer to £8k in our view. We doubt it will be on the market for very long. See the original advert on carandclassic

1960 Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 BN7£22,500
First seen 02/08/2015

Austin Healey 3000s are achieving strong prices at the moment making this MK1 look very good value even if it does need some restoration work. A top example could easily command £60,000 at present leaving plenty of room to invest in the car. See the original advert on carandclassic

1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500£5,200
First seen 16/07/2015

In a market where most makes and models seem to be rising exponentially the Triumph Spitfire still offers good value and especially the later 1500 cars. This one looks very reasonable value at £5,200 especially when good low mileage examples can make the best part of £10,000. A car such as this should not lose any money if you look after it and it should offer some scope for capital appreciation in due course. See the original advert on carandclassic

1967 spitfire 4 mark 3£3,995
First seen 25/06/2015

The price of early Spitfires has been rising significantly during the last two years or so and with good MK2s now comfortably above £10,000 the MK3 cars are playing catch up and a good one can easily command £8,000, making this example look very cheap in our view. See the original advert on carandclassic

1975 Factory MGB GT V8£12,750
First seen 15/06/2015

The last few months has seen values of MGB GTs rise quite dramatically, with top examples now achieving in excess of £10,000. That makes the relatively rare MGB GT V8 look quite undervalued now and this example at just £12,750 with only 54,000 miles on the clock looks cheap especially given that dealers have been asking the best part of £20k for good examples. See the original advert on carandclassic

1968 MGC GT£12,500
First seen 19/05/2015

During the first months of this year we have seen a big jump in the value of big engined MGB GTs such as the V8 and MGC GT. This car at £12,500 looks good value if it is in good condition given that you can now pay upwards of £10k for a top condition MGB GT. See the original advert on carandclassic

1995 Honda NSX Type-R£95,000
First seen 19/05/2015

Values of the Honda NSX are becoming increasingly strong, with low-mileage and rarer variant fetching a premium. This is perhaps the most sought after variant - the NSX Type-R. Believed to be 1 of only 2 Type-R cars in the UK, this is surely one for a collector/enthusiast. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1929 Bentley 4.5 litre Le Mans£545,000
First seen 17/05/2015

It's hard to price the true WO Bentleys due to their rarity, but any Le Mans Bentley like this is going to be a good long term investment. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1985 Alfa Romeo Spider£7,250
First seen 07/05/2015

With the price of chrome bumper early Alfa Romeo spiders now exceeding £20k, the later rubber bumper cars are looking increasingly good value and this low mileage example at just £7,250 is likely to be snapped up very quickly. See the original advert on carandclassic

1962 MGA MK II Coupe£13,950
First seen 02/05/2015

Whilst the paint on this MK II MGA Coupe is showing its age these are relatively rare cars and at £13950 there is scope to improve and possible even make a profit from this car in our view if the car is in good order. See the original advert on carandclassic

1955 Vauxhall Velox E Pickup£10,000
First seen 28/04/2015

Unusual classics are finding a healthy market at the moment, especially vans and pick-ups such as this rather nice Vauxhall Velox E Series. The price does not look unreasonable at £10k and we would not be surprised to see the car find a buyer relatively quickly. See the original advert on carandclassic

1965 E-type Series 1 4.2 Coupe£49,995
First seen 22/04/2015

Series 1 E-types are the one to go for, and with roadster prices generally well in excess of £100k the coupes must now feature on more collector's shopping lists. If this E-type is as nice in the flesh as it appears in the pictures, it could be a good buy. Opinion is split over whether 4.2 or 3.8 is the engine to have, however similar numbers of both were produced so it probably doesn't matter as an investment (unless of course it is a highly sought flat-floor). See the original advert on carandclassic

1948 Lea Francis 14hp Sport£18,000
First seen 18/04/2015

This is the second Lea Francis 14hp that we have seen during the last month or so. These cars are quite rare and the £18,000 price tag this car comes with looks very reasonable especially given that the last one sold was at a similar price and was a full restoration project. See the original advert on carandclassic

1981 Mini Clubman Estate£5,250
First seen 13/04/2015

With early Minis commanding ever higher prices it is inevitable that the later models will eventually follow suit and we are starting to see some movement in the Clubman series. This Clubman estate at £5,250 looks very good value to us with just 21,000 miles on the clock and if a lower price can be negotiated you may even make a small profit in due course. See the original advert on carandclassic

1978 Lotus Esprit S1£24,995
First seen 09/04/2015

The Lotus Esprit Series 1 is in our view a desperately undervalued car. These were made in hundreds only with a smaller number of right hand drive cars relatively to left hand drive spec cars. At £24,995 the price of this car is towards the top end of the range but we in a few years time these cars could easily be double this price. See the original advert on carandclassic

1973 Ford Capri L 1300 HC£3,500
First seen 05/04/2015

With the price of series one Capri's on a strong upward track this MK1 1300 looks good value, and with a clean up and some recommissioning work it would be easy to add value at just £3,500. See the original advert on carandclassic

1977 Ford Escort MKII 1300 GL AutoAuction
First seen 30/03/2015

With some of the more exotic early Ford cars such as the RS series and Lotus Twin Cam cars now fetching huge sums, attention is turning to some of the more basic models which often get overlooked. This MK2 Escort could easily be worth a good deal more than the estimate in the current market given its low mileage. We are now seeing low mileage MK 1 Escorts with a 1.1 litre engine pushing on for £10k now and the MK2 cars will almost certainly follow suit. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

1971 Triumph Herald 13/60 Convertible£3,950
First seen 23/03/2015

With spring in the air this Triumph Herald could be good value at £3,950. Perfect examples can fetch the best part of £10k now leaving plenty of room to add value to this car. See the original advert on carandclassic

1948 Lea Francis Sports£18,500
First seen 21/03/2015

This barn find Leaf Francis is certainly a rarity and whilst the restoration costs are likely to exceed its final value, as an oily rag car it might well make an interesting proposition for someone. See the original advert on carandclassic

1970 Triumph MK2 GT6£7,750
First seen 18/03/2015

Early Triumph GT6s are in short supply and this MK2 car looks good value at £7,750. It may well require some work but given that a top example would comfortably exceed £10k, there is room to improve the car and add value. See the original advert on carandclassic

1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500 - 14,000 miles£6,950
First seen 16/03/2015

Later 1500 Triumph Spitfires have been languishing in value up until very recently. With top early cars now commanding in excess of £10k this low mileage (if it can be proved) 1500 car looks good value at £6,950. See the original advert on carandclassic

1985 Mercedes 280SL manual£14,000
First seen 13/03/2015

With the price of Pagoda cars now going stratospheric, attention is turning to the later SL series of cars and in particular low mileage cars which are now commanding a significant premium. This 280SL is not far off low mileage status at 69,000 miles and at £14,000 could well be good value if it is in top condition. See the original advert on carandclassic

1957 Porsche 356A RHD Coupe£55,000
First seen 13/03/2015

Porsche 356 cars have been in the ascendency for some time now especially if they come in rare right hand drive form. This car at £55,000 looks to be a bargain given that typical examples in top condition can command in excess of £80,000. See the original advert on carandclassic

1933 Austins - a Big 7 & a 10/4£5,995
First seen 12/03/2015

With valuations still rising even restorations can offer value and potential profit. The two cars listed in this advert today could well fetch more than the combined price of £5,995 especially if any work is undertaken to improve them. See the original advert on carandclassic

1985 Fiat X1/9£4,000
First seen 10/03/2015

This Fiat X1/9 is interesting at £4,000 given its low mileage. We have seen a perfect example sell more recently for just under £10k which leaves some room to improve this one if need be. See the original advert on carandclassic

1977 Capri 3.0 Ghia£9,995
First seen 08/03/2015

The 3 Litre Capri is very much in fashion at the moment and this Mk2 car at £9,995 looks good value against recent auction results of over £10k. See the original advert on carandclassic

1957 MGA 1500cc Coupe£11,995
First seen 05/03/2015

An MGA 1500 coupe can command almost as much as the roadster which makes this largely original car at £11,995 a bargain if it is in good order. See the original advert on carandclassic

1974 Triumph GT6 Mk3£5,999
First seen 03/03/2015

The price of a good Triumph GT6 is generally the best part of £10k which makes this car an interesting buy. It has had some modifications which can be reversed and at £5,999 it looks good value if the car is sound. See the original advert on carandclassic

1959 Alvis TD21£10,500
First seen 01/03/2015

Sometimes buying a car that needs work provides scope to add value and potentially make a profit. This Alvis TD21 that has been listed today ticks those boxes and at £10,500 it is half the price of a very good example. See the original advert on carandclassic

1972 Morris Minor Traveller£5,850
First seen 28/02/2015

Morris Minor Travellers can command upwards of ££0k in the current market and the price of this Traveller immediately had our interest at £5,850. The condition appears to be A1 and it does not surprise us that it has been sold within a few hours. See the original advert on carandclassic

1980 Lotus Esprit S2 John Player Special£12,800
First seen 26/02/2015

Lotus Esprit's have been an overlooked classic sports car for a long time and they are certainly long overdue a re-appraisal given the meteoric rise in values seen in other parts of the market. This Series 2 car in JPS colours looks good value with 72,000 miles on the clock. The asking price of £12,800 is certainly not demanding especially when you consider that an Austin 7 can cost more in today's market. See the original advert on carandclassic

1958 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite Mk 1Auction
First seen 25/02/2015

This Frogeye Sprite caught our eye today on EBay. It is a fully restored example with a few days left on its auction. Top examples can fetch £16k-£18k but this one is an ex USA car which has been converted and that will reduce the price a little, but that said even at £14k, if it is a perfect example, it represents good value in our view. See the original advert on ebay

1986 Ford Capri 2.8 Injection Special£7,500
First seen 24/02/2015

Ford Capri valuations have been rising for some time and with MK3 3.0S cars now achieving over £20k the market will take greater interest in the 2.8 litre cars. This one appears good value at £7,500 and although it needs some work we have seen top examples achieve the best part of £20k leaving plenty of room to add value to this car. See the original advert on carandclassic

1967 Triumph Vitesse£3,900
First seen 23/02/2015

Triumph Vitesse 2 litre cars are starting to move up in value now and with plenty of power under the bonnet they make for a good everyday classic. This white MK1 appears to be in good order and if the 61,000 miles on the clock can be proven, the car might even be worth a little more than the £3,900 asking price. See the original advert on carandclassic

1936 Austin Seven Ruby£4,250
First seen 22/02/2015

Even with a frothy classic car market at the moment there are times when cars do end up being advertised for a price considerably less than what the car is worth. Today was a case in point with what appears to be a very good Austin 7 Ruby that was advertised at £4,250 and on paper was likely to be worth over £7k. It is of no surprise that the car has sold with a matter of hours. See the original advert on carandclassic

1959 Frog Eye Sprite£10,250
First seen 21/02/2015

Frogeye Sprites in top condition are starting to achieve prices closer to the £20k mark which makes this original car that needs a paint refresh looking good value in our view at £10,250. See the original advert on carandclassic

1934 Austin 10/4 Lichfield£7,250
First seen 20/02/2015

With the price of top Austin Seven box saloons now approaching £10,000, this Austin Lichfield looks good value and arguably provides a better driving experience than an Austin 7. See the original advert on carandclassic

Bristol 406POA
First seen 19/02/2015

Priced at just over the £30k mark this Bristol 406 looks good value to us. You will struggle now to get change out of £40k for any Bristol engined car and with some of the early Bristol 2 litre cars now in excess of £60k, the 406 which was the last of the 2 litre cars is sure to follow. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1930 Austin Seven RK Saloon£14,950
First seen 18/02/2015

Finding Austin Sevens in perfect condition is very rare and we could not help but notice this RK saloon which is fully priced, but the cost of getting a seven to this condition is likely to be far more than the asking price of £14,950 and the fabric variant is quite a rarity. See the original advert on carandclassic

1962 AC Aceca£65,000
First seen 17/02/2015

Restorations are always expensive but sometimes there is scope to build value into a car and even make a profit. This rare Bristol engined AC Aceca offers scope to build a car that could well yield a profit in due course. The finished article could easily exceed £100k in value. See the original advert on carandclassic

1927 Morgan Aero£22,750
First seen 15/02/2015

Three wheeler pre war Morgans have been commanding prices comfortably over £30k for some time now which is why this advert caught our eye. If the car is original and carries its original engine, this Aero looks very good value at £22,750. See the original advert on carandclassic

1984 Fiat Bertone X/19£10,200
First seen 14/02/2015

Low mileage and original cars are beginning to command quite a premium over restored cars and this Fiat X19 looks to fit the bill at just 19,600 miles. It is reflected in the price but as a long term investment the car should reward its owner if its current condition is preserved. See the original advert on carandclassic

1990 Aston Martin Lagonda - Series 4£130,000
First seen 13/02/2015

Perhaps the Lagonda is no longer the Aston that nobody wants? Famed for its quirkiness and worryingly complicated controls, this car has had few fans in the past. Maybe now things are changing. It's styling will never be to everyones tastes, but its hard to deny there is something quite appealing about its futuristic looks, which have improved with age. This car is described as being in superb condition, and certainly looks it from the pictures. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1961 Hillman Minx£5,500
First seen 12/02/2015

It's nice to see an honest and pretty looking car like this Hillman for sale at a sensible price. It has spent a large amount of its time in a museum and private collection and it sounds like the current owner has got the car back on the road with care after her time spent as a collectors item. We presume the car will have a low mileage, which would tally with the nice original looking interior. Hopefully this little Minx will find a new owner who will cherish it for years to come. See the original advert on carandclassic

1988 Ferrari F40£1.1m
First seen 11/02/2015

Several years ago we looked at the F40 as an undervalued car, given its heritage and legendary performance. It looks like this is finally no longer the case as we see examples like this for sale over the £1m mark. With just 2,000km on the clock this is certainly a desirable example. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1968 Morris Minor 1000Auction
First seen 11/02/2015

Auctioneer CW Harrison in Ossett, West Yorks is selling a Morris Minor today which is claimed to have just 190 miles of delivery mileage on the clock. The car comes with a not unexpected estimate of £7,000-£10,000 which it can be expected to easily achieve if indeed the mileage is correct. According to the auctioneer's website the car was last valued in 2000 and the valuation quoted just 190 miles from new and the car has sat in its current and only owner's garage ever since. See the original advert on the auctioneer's website

1966 Triumph Mark II Spitfire£2,500
First seen 10/02/2015

Value in a restoration car? This Mk2 Spitfire that has come up for sale today could represent good value for someone willing to put some work into raising the condition of the car. A fully restored MK2 sold at auction recently for over £13k and if this car does not need any serious work it should be possible to build value into it and perhaps even a profit. See the original advert on carandclassic

1972 Jensen Healey MK1£3,995
First seen 09/02/2015

Jensen Healeys have long been out of favour but as the more budget sports tourers have started to creep ahead these cars have been left behind. Equipped with a 1973cc lotus engine that powers the car to 60mph in 8.1 seconds, the Jensen Healey is quick and although the engineering and build quality was questionable at the time it is difficult to argue against these cars being good value in the current climate. See the original advert on carandclassic

1981 Wolfrace SonicAuction
First seen 09/02/2015

If you want to make sure your car is the only one of its kind in the car park, this is the car for you. It's the promotional car created at great expense for Wolfrace wheels in the 1970's. It apparently has a lot of history, including opening a grand prix at Brands Hatch and a feature in a 2 page spread in Playboy magazine. The car requires full restoration. Hard to put a value on a car like this, but let's just hope its next owner manages to restore it to its former glory and get it back on the road. See the original advert on ebay

Alfa Romeo 2500 6C BarchettaPOA
First seen 09/02/2015

Specials such as this Alfa often divide opinion. Valuation really comes down to whether it matches someones personal tastes. This particular car caught our eye due to its very pretty lines. It's based on a Fiat 1100, having a 2500 6C Alfa Romeo engine installed. As such it has the potential to make a nice little sports car. The overall look of the car we like very much, perhaps being let down slightly by using sheet aluminium brightwork instead of chrome and the rather chunky looking tyres. See the original advert on the dealer's website

1976 Triumph StagAuction
First seen 08/02/2015

The prices of good Triumph Stags are now comfortably over the £10k mark with manuals generally commanding slightly more. This Stag appears to have had everything done to it removing any worries over the mechanics and body, potentially making it quite a good buy for someone. See the original advert on ebay

1980 Triumph TR8£16,500
First seen 07/02/2015

Possibly not at the top of most peoples dream list, but its hard not to be tempted by a genuine low mileage RHD TR8. We suspect there are quite a few people who do in fact secretly fancy one. Could this be you? According to the advert only 35 such cars were originally made making it a very interesting proposition. Popularity in '80s cars is increasing, so if this car really is in great original condition then it could be a good car to cherish. See the original advert on ebay

1977 Mercedes 280 SLC£11,995
First seen 06/02/2015

Values of the SL series of Mercedes have risen significantly over the last couple of years with the top 500SL cars now fetching upwards of £40k. The 280SL's also have a strong following now and the key is if the car is low mileage. This car has been imported from Cyprus, but if the quoted mileage of 16,000 miles is correct and the car is in good order the car is very good value for money at £11995 and it could easily be worth double this in our view. See the original advert on carandclassic

1989 Ferrari 328 GTS ABS£80,000
First seen 06/02/2015

The Ferrari 328 is becoming increasingly popular. This car stands out, looking fabulous in black instead of the usual red, and with a nice contrasting cream interior. One of only 300 RHD GTS ABS models and with only 37,000 miles on the clock it must be of interest to anyone looking for a Ferrari of this era. See the original advert on classiccarsforsale

1956 Jaguar Mk1 2.4£16,000
First seen 05/02/2015

With the price of Mk2 Jags steadily rising once again, the previously overlooked and relatively rare Mk1 is now starting to gain in popularity. This car does sport the smaller 2.4 litre power unit but at £16,000 it appears good value against its younger brother. See the original advert on carandclassic

1970 Triumph Vitesse MK2Auction
First seen 04/02/2015

Having been the subject of a £10,000 rebuild this could well be good value depending upon the reserve that has been set. A nice Vitesse is very difficult to come by these days as they have generally been patched up, but as values continue to appreciate it is becoming increasingly worthwhile restoring these cars to a good standard. See the original advert on ebay

1952 Austin A40 sports£13,750
First seen 04/02/2015

These cars are quite a rarity these days and they generally go for what this dealer is asking. The A40 Sports is quite a pretty car and offers a fun form of classic motoring. The A40 Sports was actually built by Jensen and comes with a 1200cc engine with two carbs to give it a bit of extra power. See the original advert on carandclassic

1929 Triumph super seven sports£10,995
First seen 03/02/2015

We quite often see small pre-war specials, but this one caught our eye. What a pretty little car! It looks very well executed and restored by its current owner who would appear to have a good eye for detail. So often the rear of these specials are a let-down, but this one has a nice shape to it. The engine appears nicely detailed, the dashboard looks delightful and the hood is not just an after-thought, fitting the cars look superbly. If a fun little vintage sports car is your thing, then this surely fits the bill. See the original advert on ebay

1980 Ford Capri 3.0s£12,950
First seen 02/02/2015

With the increasing interest we are seeing Capris, this car looks very tempting. A similar one sold for over £20,000 at Anglia Car Auctions this weekend. This car has benefited from a full rebuild and some minor upgrades. Certainly sounds like its worth a look. See the original advert on ebay

1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet£12,500
First seen 01/02/2015

If you are looking for a Porsche on a sensible budget, then this may be of interest. It has low mileage at 51,500, and sounds like it has been very well looked after. Being an s2 it's also the best of the non-turbo cars. The colour and interior look spot on too. If you would like a 944 Cabriolet then this could be the car for you. See the original advert on carandclassic
