Triumph's up in value

[anonymous-user]

Triumph Stags and 2.5/2000 in decent condition seemed to have risen in value considerably, Stags went through the roof (no pun intended) in the late 80s classic car boom but this time they have come late to the party and also notice decent 2.5/2000's are on the rise.

That's all very nice, but... Buy one if you like them, don't buy one if not.

Theoretical investment value of cars as a primary concern is not something I particularly like about the classic car market.

I don't understand why Triumphs haven't done better against it's competitors.

Stags I have noticed have risen finally but these and the TR6 have taken an age to be recognised. Maybe it's because there is no shortage

After all it's all geared around supply and demand......just not sure why the comparitive low demand

I've noticed that Dolomite Sprints seem to be rising in value too. Quite fancy one actually.

Just sold my TR6 so they're bound to increase in value now

I feel the same about Sprints - sold mine out of necessity, obviously they are now going up and up in value. Gah.

Once I sell any vehicle afterwards they go up in value, me owning something must keep the prices low,lol

It's fashion too - TRs in general and the 6 did very well in the last '80s/'90s boom – when I sold my first one I got back double what I paid for it within 18 months. I think a very good TR6 now still goes for less in actual numbers what it would have gone for then. So a crap investment. Maybe that's why there are so many around, that and the construction which while derided 'in period' for being outmoded, actually means they have backbone and are relatively easy to restore.

The last of the hairy chested sports cars. I love a 6, currently tinkering with one in my garage.

About five years back I bought a 1 owner 13000 mile car for 8k and sold it a year or two later for 13 but now I guess it's 20k Still not a lot for such a nice example
