Prices of all classics seem to be on the slide. Edited August 24, 2023 by Steppenwolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim T Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 I see 3 No 5s were offered at Historics Auctioneers on 23rd Sept, none of which sold. Haven’t scrutinised the pics but…. ! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DenisMc Posted September 24, 2023 Report Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Hi Tim, During the auction in the live update it stated that the red TR5 sold for a disappointing £32k. I have checked and it didn’t sell as you say. Presumably, the three cars didn’t sell because the reserves were not met. Probably a good thing for those concerned about the market price of their car.

stuart Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Very poor results all round by the looks of it, a lot obviously had too high reserves. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trchris Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 Are the values of 5s on the decline? seems they don’t command or sell for high money these days Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DenisMc Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 It is interesting to note that the 2023 Practical Classics price guide has the price for a Concours/Dealer car at £52500, whereas a Condition 1 car is £39500. These are the prices you would expect to pay after negotiation. Condition 1 means well presented cars with no obvious faults. The guide can be found by searching for Practical Classics Price Guide.

ntc Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 It’s a reality check and long overdue imho but some fingers are going to get burned you can guarantee that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Market forces, prices go up and come down, perhaps up again….! I think that the real investment value in having any of these cars is restoring them, using them, smiles and miles not £sd. I have 2 5s and no regrets. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 I've been keeping a sharp eye on Classic car values over the past 18 months and there is no doubt in my mind values have dropped on most 50's/60's Classics I struggled to sell my Sunbeam Tiger and was expecting to have to list it via an Auction House or via a dealer, luckily the first person to view it seriously bought it. Certain 70's/80's Classic (Sporty Fords for one) have seen a rise in value however over the past few years. Derek Mathewson (Bangers & Cash) as made some valid points in the past regarding the decline of values of 30's/40's cars, due to the lack of demand of people wanting to buy them these days, maybe we will see a similar drop in demand for 50's/60's classic as time moves on and the people who grew up with these cars and lusted after them when they were new get older.

Tim T Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 This could be interesting as a litmus test for current values ? https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1639939 Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trchris Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hasn’t this been offered for sale before at a higher price ? or am l getting confused with another but I’m sure this was on sale earlier this year for around the £65000 mark could be wrong but if it was things are changing like l mentioned in a earlier post the 5s aren’t commanding silly prices anymore Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 EFI car so different kettle of fish, probably will make good money though wrong time of year to sell. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
