Six sold results in two markets: classic Spiders at a £17,250 median, and modern saloons at banger money. The engines were never the problem.

20 sold results in two markets: DB7s from £7,750 carrying the volume, classic V8s to £158,000 carrying the value. The gap between them is where the judgement lies.

A thin but instructive market: 16 sold results, R8s at £34,875 to £62,438 and everything else under £4,000. The middle tier barely exists at auction yet.

Seven sold results across two markets: Austin-badged Minis at a £7,568 median, and Healeys from a £2,860 project to £49,500 restored.

28 sold results led by modern Continentals at a £17,250 median: the steepest luxury depreciation at auction, and the Arnage at £14,500 is the boldest bet in it.

46 sold results from £430 to £77,063. M cars set the ceiling; the floor is full of £3,000 straight-six coupés and roadsters that make excellent keepers.

Three sold results: Camaro £39,375, Impala £27,225, Corvette £10,000. American classics trade on presence per pound that nothing European matches.

Six sold results spanning a £3,600 2CV to a £27,750 GS: the oddest, cleverest engineering in the classic market, priced for the brave and rewarding the informed.

Six sold results from £34,313 to £489,167, and 52 live lots: the deepest exotic inventory on the site. The service file is the car; everything else is paint.

Seven sold results led by the 500 at a £4,200 median, with a Dino at £51,750 proving the badge stretches further than its reputation.

The most-traded marque at British auctions, and the clearest two-tier market in the hobby: fast Fords at collector money, everything else at entry money. 60 sold results tracked.

Five sold results from a £1,540 Civic to a £73,125 NSX. Everything in between is engineering that outlasts its price, which is why the good ones are leaving cheap territory fast.

78 sold results from £225 to £117,000, the widest spread of any British marque. E-Types set the ceiling; the XJS and XK8 are the value, with full parts support behind both.

Two sold results: an Interceptor at £45,760 and a C-V8 at £23,000. Chrysler muscle in a British suit, with three more Interceptors live as we write.

Four sold results, £185,000 to £512,500, and 22 live lots led by Gallardos. The poster cars have become blue chips; the Gallardo is the working entry.

33 sold results led by Defenders at a £22,850 median. Chassis condition is the whole purchase; everything bolted to it is replaceable, and usually has been.

Nine sold results: Elans to £25,312, Esprits and Elises in the high teens. Light cars, light bills when sorted, heavy bills when not.

Six sold results, five of them under £11,000: the steepest prestige-to-price ratio at auction, with one £62,000 Khamsin showing where the classics sit.

Eight sold results: seven MX-5s at a £2,800 median, one RX-7 at £16,875. The cheapest reliable classic ownership in our records, with one rotary exception.

Two sold results at £114,750 and £310,500. Carbon-tub supercars with racing DNA, already depreciated hard: the service plan is the purchase.

71 sold results, from £500 depreciation casualties to a £92,500 190 SL. The rule: over-engineered before the mid-nineties, over-complicated after, priced accordingly.

31 sold results and the most affordable route into open-top classic motoring: Midgets from £620, MGBs at a £6,469 median, everything remanufactured down to the bodyshell.

Nine sold results dominated by Coopers: £500 to £29,000, median £15,402. Small car, serious money, and originality is the whole game.

Eleven sold results, £6,500 to £43,875. The car barely changes; the values barely move; the waiting list did the depreciating for you.

Sixteen sold results, fifteen of them Minors: £120 to £18,563, median £5,500. The most forgiving classic in Britain, priced for everyone.

No sold results yet, but eleven live lots led by Skyline GT-Rs and Zs: the Japanese-performance wave arriving in British salerooms in real time.

The deepest live inventory of any marque (122 lots) and a 911 median of £40,612. Transaxles and mid-engined cars offer the same engineering at a fraction of the price.

13 sold results from a £1,100 Silver Cloud project to a £160,000 Cullinan. The purchase price is the smallest number in the ownership ledger.

Four sold results, all Imprezas: £2,452 to £43,472. One model, one legend, and a forty-thousand-pound gap between used car and collector car.

28 sold results led by the Stag at a £12,616 median: the great redeemed classic. TRs, Spitfires and Dolomites cover every budget from £2,000 to £21,000.

Four sold results from £4,793 to £20,812. Fibreglass bodies, huge engines, no electronic safety net: the Chimaera at £9,106 median is the sane way in.

28 sold results split between two icons: Golfs at a £9,953 median (GTIs on top) and Beetles at £5,200. Both are among the best-supported classics money can buy.
