>From somebody who just purchased his first Tiger in a private sale, I can say
that this list and the people on it are an invaluable network to sell your
car. I joined this list months before I actually made my purchase. I let it be
known I was interested and it was a member of the list who directed me to the
car I bought. That endorsement was a significant factor in my decision,
especially for a newbie. I am sure the list and its network could work to the
sellers benefit just as well.

Subject: Hagerty British Market Report
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.
