They have climbed almost every year since I bought mine 5 years ago, now I'd expect to pay £13k more for the same car as mine and considering the recession that's pretty good going.
As the car becomes more "classic" with age and the odd accident reducing the numbers I can't see why they would not continue to increase - how much too and how fast I`ll leave up to the classic car professionals

I would suggest that the prices of all well maintained TVR's are only going to go one-way. Ok, the Sag's are the 'darling' of the range, but this will drag up the prices of all the other models too.
I guess prices of Sag's will keep going up until they stop selling and in which case, they've reached their ceiling wherever that might be. 70, 80, 75... who knows.

Do you think the Sag's good looking sister the T350c ( that's not my quot its what my wife calls her )will go up?
I moved from my Lotus and put my money in to the TVR for meany reasons but one was it seemed a place were it would hold its cash. Due to a new little one this year its done 700 miles this year and a 1k the year befor 17k now. I will hopefully use more soon.

I'd think so, it's been inderpriced for a while, I doubt it'll see the heady heights of the Sag but never say never.
) then there's no real reason why the other models won't continue to play catch up.My personal view is that we will see a crash in classic values around 18 months after the stabilisation of the debt crisis in the West and the return to clear growth. The market has been pumped up strongly by a flight of capital looking for strategic investments. When the reason for this abates then a few people will begin reducing their exposure via the auction houses, while at the same time the number of strategic buyers will have reduced and at some point an auction will fail and the market will soil itself and we'll get all the usual arguments over forced sales due to debt secured on a now falling asset, fakes that everyone technically knew were fakes all along etc etc.
When this will be, who knows, all we know is that it will happen but until then there is no real reason for the Tiv buble to burst out of line with the general market.

I think that we will start to see rebodied examples of the T350 being passed off as a Sagaris if prices continue to rise and the differential between a T350 and a Sagaris continues to widen.
Caveat emptor! I think T350s will narrow the gap, which would make the conversion cost uneconomical and it'd still be easily spotted by checking the chassis number.

Oh, indeed. V8 GRF said:

Perhaps. My point was that, whilst the conversion *is* economical, people might be tempted to do it. And, as you say, Caveat Emptor. ShiDevil said:
Why convert? More than happy with a T350, at £30k less than a Sag, for what you get, happy days! 
Turn what you have said around. Why convert? Because you can sell for £30k more. Let's not forget the time that Jeremy Clarkson bought a Maserati Merak thinking it as an SS and then discovered it was an ordinary model that someone had put an 'SS' badge onto to increase its value.
