Hi Steven .
Don't worry .
I only need to ad a 1939 Dolomite Roadster and a TR 4 A ( or TR 4 / TR 5 )
to my collection of daily drivers ( no warehouse secrets for me ) . :-)
BTW if prices become too fancy :-) in the USA or UK , you investors :-) out
there should consider buying from us poor third world countries :-) . In
fact about 85 % of classics that do come on the market are exported to
Europe , USA or Australia . Granted , there are not a lot of classics down
here , but our money is worth next to nothing , so it's real cheap for
overseas buyers .
Kind regards .

Agreed. I still need to add a TRs or two, so I would prefer depressed
market values. Hopefully a stock market correction will help for the next
year unless Triumphs become the hot alternative to tech stocks. So I'd
likely support your follow-on conclusion. Of course, none of us believe
we'll ever sell our cars -- not now, not ever. <g> We'll just keep building
the fleet.
So I also think that list members are perhaps arguing for some market
discipline. Having an artificial runup of our cars doesn't do anyone any
good -- except for buyers when the market corrects. Unless the cars are
all snapped up by overseas* "investors" and tucked in warehouses and
never return to the market.
*I don't mean Chris in SA or you UK enthusiasts.
