Not sure I saw every response to this thread but Hagerty has a valuation sec=
tion on their web site that, I have been told by Hagerty, are all based on a=
ctual sales.   There is also a 3&5 year trending section of the car. =20

I agree with Dave. BringaTrailer.com is a fun place to search and watch auct=
ions for Triumphs. However, Dave is spot on when he says some cars there som=
etimes get crazy prices as compared to their quality level. However, sometim=
es cars there are sold at about their correct value, but many times not too.=
 A friend who is into motorcycles recently commented how sometimes prices of=
 motorcycles go a little crazy on BringaTrailer. All it takes is two or thre=
e bidders for the price to spike. However, many times a flawed car will get p=
icked apart from the comments.
