Which Triumph models make the most
Not every Triumph is priced alike. The TR4A sits at the top of the marque, with a median of £18,854 across 232 sales and most of them between £12,979 and £22,996. The Spitfire Mk IV sits at the bottom at a median of £4,735, so the dearest Triumph model typically makes about 4 times what the cheapest does.
The TR6 alone accounts for about 27% of the Triumph sales on record, so the marque-wide median leans toward it.

Before you buy or sell
- Buying a classic at auction
Why the hammer price is never the price, what Category S and N actually mean, why a clean-looking V5C proves less than buyers assume, and how to think about bidding on a car nobody has let you inspect.
- Selling a classic privately
A private seller is not a shop, and the law knows it. Which consumer protections fall away, which three rules still bind you, why selling an unroadworthy car is an offence whoever you are, the DVLA steps that end your liability, and the payment habits that keep the money.
- Agreed value insurance
The trade valuation guides insurers use do not value cars over about twenty years old, which is why a classic on a market-value policy is a claim waiting to be argued. What the Financial Ombudsman expects, what the regulator found when it looked, what agreed value actually promises, and the evidence that sets it.
- What a restoration really costs
Why restoration bills reach numbers that horrify outsiders, where the money actually goes, and the practical protections that matter when handing a valuable car to a workshop for a year. Staged payments, written scope, and what happens if the business fails.
Strong evidence. 4,666 recorded sales and a dozen or more a year: the median and the range are well founded. Sold prices from public classic car auction results (1995 to 10 August 2026), not asking prices and not a valuation: a concours car and a project both sit inside these ranges, and condition, history and specification move any one car well outside them. Inflation-adjusted figures use the ONS CPIH index, in 2025 money. How to read these figures.
