Triumph Stag values: Mk2 over Mk1, manual level with automatic, the original-engine premium, and a market down by half
An original Triumph V8 against a Rover engine swap is the question this record answers. Triumph Stag prices from 530 recorded auction sales, why the Mk2 sells above the Mk1 and a manual no more than an automatic, what the hardtop and the history add, and why the Stag has lost nearly half its value in real terms since 2018.
Jaguar XJS values: convertible over coupé, V12 over six, and why it is still the cheapest big Jaguar
Cheaper in real terms than it was twenty years ago. Jaguar XJS values from 1,921 recorded auction sales, the convertible and V12 premiums, the run-out Celebration and the Lynx Eventer at the top, and what rust and a V12 plumbing job do to the price.
