I am still looking and can confirn that is true. I am magic at selling cars at the nadir of their worth and actually gave away a vgc 1966 Minor in the 80's, sold a 2CV for peanuts a decade later, along with a Granada. More recently I sold a 1996 Celica for £900 that would cost me 5x that to buy back and even more recently (2016) I sold a Cherokee 1998 4.0 for £350 just to get shut quick, that same car would now go for £3k+!
Oddball or good looking cars (that I like to have around as a 2nd car) will always reach a point when demand outstrips supply, that's why I bought an unmolested 1992 Eunos 4 years ago and won't sell it. I'd also like a Toyota Rav4 MK1 but in the last 12 months prices for these have absolutely rocketed. As a 75 owner you might not feel it, but as a wannabe one I can feel that the prices are going to rocket within 2/3 years.
