More than 60 classics have jumped in value since the last update to the Classic Cars magazine Price Guide, and the list published in the latest issue makes fascinating reading.

Despite a widely-reported cooling off in classic values in 2016 there are plenty of exceptions, ranging from obviously hot models like the BMW M535i (up 54% to £10k in top condition) to the quietly-appreciated Swallow Doretti (up 50% to £60k). Tellingly, there are no Ferraris or early Porsche 911s in the top slots, though high-performance versions of the 993 generation cars are increasingly appreciated for their last-of-the-air-cooled status.

The top ten fallers include the until-recently climbing Mercedes 190 SL and Rolls Corniche, though their single-digit declines haven’t transformed them into instant bargains just yet.

Buying advice and market analysis is part of 16 pages of buying information in every issue of Classic Cars magazine, including Quentin Willson’s Smart Buys, Russ Smith’s Market Watch, in-depth buying guides and Ads on Test.
