As the old stock market adage went, no one rings a bell at the top of the market. In speaking to several fairly high placed people recently, they are of the opinion that as the age groups shift, so the demand for certain cars wane and others come into fashion. For example, it was postulated that the XK120 is losing favour and the XK140 is more in vogue today. The E-type seems to be iconic and its rise meteoric over the last year or so, and other "forgotten" cars seem to have leapt in percentage value, such as the Sunbeam Tiger, one of which, completely rebuilt, was son the market for ages a few months back at £30,000 with no takers, yet now they are around £50,000. I've never really believed it since for example when at the Barratt Jackson sale at Phoenix in 2005 it was said that 1950's cars were about to fall because that age group was dying out. They've rocketed since. I have no idea, but let's hear your opinions.
