Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Australian MGB market has entered a sustained correction phase, with the median price now sitting at AUD $22,425—down 15.5% year-on-year. This downward momentum carries a sell signal, reflecting broader weakness in the British sports car segment locally.

Liquidity in this segment remains thin, with only six documented sales tracked over the past twelve months. The absence of active listings at present suggests dealers and private sellers are largely standing pat, though the low transaction volume means individual sales can create outsized price volatility.

MGBs occupy a stable modern-classic classification with moderate desirability in the Australian market. While these cars maintain collectible standing, their appeal remains tethered to period authenticity and condition rather than scarcity or investment momentum.

The three-year base projection points to a median of AUD $15,271—a further 31.9% depreciation from current levels—with five-year forecasts suggesting continued erosion to around AUD $13,568. This trajectory assumes no significant shift in buyer sentiment or supply dynamics over the medium term.

The confidence in this depreciation signal is high, driven by consistent downward pressure and the lack of offsetting buyer interest. For current owners, the timing favors liquidation over holding, while prospective buyers may find better entry points within the next 12–18 months as the market continues to settle.
