I suppose a "market value" report issued by an insurance company like Hagerty
has a certain natural "upward" bias. They more you insure the car for, the
higher the premiums they collect. My Mark II is insured with them, but for a
lot less than they state as their current value.
Truth is, I don't know how much the car is worth. I may find out sometime
next year, as I'm thinking of selling it after 32 years of ownership. I have
been giving a lot of consideration to the new ERA slabside Cobra kit... and
also need to cover the costs of restoring a Mark I Tiger (owned since 1979,
all there, but needs restoration).
Couple of pics of my Mark II at these links:

BTW... what is the consensus (if there is one) as to the best way to sell a
very nice Tiger these days? Off hand it seems eBay would be the way to go,
assuming you set a reasonably high reserve to "protect" against letting it go
too cheaply just based on timing. But, there are a lot of good ways to
promote a private sale, too. I'd be interested in suggestions.
