[Tigers] Hagerty British Market Report

[Bill Waite]

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.
