But prices do seem to have 'corrected' for run of the mill stuff, look at Brightwells results from last month https://www.brightwells.com/timed-sale/5369 where there were some surprisingly low prices - the Focus ST500 and BMW M3 leap out as being well under what they are in the classifieds, and some of those MGs and midgets are a virtual giveaway.

Yes this is correct. I'm more in touch with classic motorcycles, but the same is true. Early 90's stuff has doubled in the last couple of years off the back of covid savings, but now dropping back. Some iconic bikes/cars do buck the trend, but you have to pick carefully if appreciation is important. My neighbour has around 40 classic 1950's bikes in museum condition, but only a handful are worth more than 3k. Its a labour of love from some people!
