frenchiemk2 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just before i bought my Pi, 3 years ago, i began looking for prices on mk2 and also mk1 saloons. At that era, you could find a mk2 2l very nice and running/ driving for 5k € and Pi very good condition at about 7-8K €. Today the exact same 2000 is for sale 9500€(with maintenance bills) and any very nice PI is in the range 12-14K €. Same with Dolomite Sprint. In 3 years... I asked Michel who owns a Mk1 Pi and he has no idea why or what's happening. My guess is that all GT6, TR6, but also Spitfire have become unaffordable, making of the Saloons 6 cylinders decent alternatives now. I don't especially want to argue a lot, just wondering why public prices got close to twice in only 3 years. Top 1 dare over rated price in France is this one. Maybe pictures aren't good enough... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1451554512303594/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianb Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 It’s because the French Apreciate the finer things in life ! Like Fine Wines, Fine Cheeses, and Fine Classic Cars with that important name “Triumph” hence they are willing to pay a premium for a Beautiful Triumph… Fiat 126 doesn’t have the same ring! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Fine Wines, Fine Cheeses, That's why I moved here 😁 I have a friend here who sends me links to Heralds for sale from time to time and the prices asked for them seem very high as well. Do the cars actually sell for those asking prices that is the critical point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DVD3500 Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Is it me or are LHD Triumph saloons pretty rare anyway? More rare than the sports cars in any case... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they sell... full of cars at high price that stay long or disappear after a certain time in offers. But old cars are getting very expensive on market even when they have no record, no history, no bills no maintenance and sometimes no papers (french sport) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
