As it seems the classic car price bubble is starting to burst,I was wondering which make/model will fall the most. A correction of prices will be good for the genuine enthusiasts and I welcome it.

But... would I enjoy it more than the TR6? I've been thinking about this recently, all the cars I fancy etc. I think the TR is a fairly commonplace thing in classic circles, barely worthy of mention. But I can't imagine anything being that much more fun that I'd want to swap it.
I have never driven a tr6 so cant comment on that, but I do own a 308 gtb and it really is superb in so many ways. I love the styling,the way it drives/rides and handles and sounds,its fast enought at about 155mph,the driving experience feels very special and still old skool, and it is very diy mantainable. My car saw very strong gains but has fallen back some in the last 2 odd years, not that I mind as I hope to never sell it.

a brief article on classic car prices.

I am very interested in the prices of classics, For me as with a lot of other enthusiasts there were so many cars I wished to buy but they have all risen out of my price range. With a much hoped for drop in prices,it will mean I can buy and enjoy more of those cars. This is a recently sold price of a similar car to mine which I say is more representative of todays market and not the over inflated asking prices as with so many other makes/models currently still for sale.The price drop is happening now and the longer sellers try and hold out for their unrealistic amounts,the worse it will get.

The Bonhams’ other 308 (the Vetroresina) also confirms my point. It sold for £101,000, whereas if you look on here there is one at £128,000. and five more between £144,000 - £170,000. I am sure many more examples of this price disparity about.
