I have always kept an eye on the prices of certain cars (mostly Ferrari 308s, 348s and 355s) and I've been looking at their price guide for a few cars of late and looking at this the prices doesn't seem to reflect anything advertised.

I'm not sure how they calculate their prices but they do seem to be out, for example a 1978 Ferrari 308 GT4 is showing as £28k for Fair, £33k for good and £47k for excellent but the cheapest i have seen currently for sale is £40k and that one would fall under 'good' I expect. Similar for the 308 GTB, none for sale for less then £60k...

I could list of lots of different examples and seems to be a common theme, so are their off or are the cars for sale incorrectly priced?

Haven't used Hagerty, but I presume they'd take an average of all cars advertised/sold across a select group of web-platforms, and then take a guess from that.

O/T but £40K for a 308 Dino? Christ, can tell we're due a recession.

Are you saying this is expensive? This is very much the lower end of the price for these it seems
