A Toyota Supra A80 now costs about £40,000, according to Hagerty UK, and that price has climbed 41.8% in five years. Yet the Supra A80 is the exception on Hagerty UK’s 2026 Bull Market list, not the rule.
Hagerty is clear that this list is not a forecast. In fact, its own introduction says these cars “aren’t those that necessarily will soar in value.” Instead, the UK team picked the ten cars that offer the best mix of value for money and driveability. Six of the ten actually fell in value over the last five years, and one stayed flat.
Hagerty revealed the list on Monday, 12 January 2026, at Bicester Motion’s season-opening Scramble. Every price below is Hagerty’s value as at 11 January 2026, in pounds, with the five-year change beside it. Each car also carries a new Collectability Percentile, a score built from more than 20 weighted factors. The cars run in Hagerty’s own order.
1. 2004–2009 Ferrari F430
Hagerty puts an F430 Spider at £95,400 as at 11 January 2026. That is 19% more than five years ago, and the car scores 74.4 on the Collectability Percentile. Power comes from the 4.3-litre F136 V8.
So why does a near-£100,000 Ferrari make a value list? Because Hagerty UK judges it good value next to the 458 that replaced it. The buyers are younger than you might guess, too. In fact, 65% of Hagerty’s F430 owners are Gen X or Millennials.
2. 1971–1979 Vauxhall Viva HC
The cheapest car here is also the one that fell hardest. Hagerty values a 1300 four-door Viva HC at £4,300, down 23.2% over five years. Its Collectability Percentile is just 1.8, the lowest on the list.
Volume is the appeal. Vauxhall built nearly 650,000 of them at Luton and Ellesmere Port between 1971 and 1979, and Hagerty calls it a usable, good-value British classic. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers make up over half of its UK owners, while Gen X accounts for 34.8%.
3. 1983–1992 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2
Hagerty puts an eight-valve Mk2 GTI at £15,300, down 1.9% in five years, with a Collectability Percentile of 66.1. A 16-valve car costs a little more, at £16,600.
For comparison, the older Mk1 GTI 1600 now sits at £21,500, up nearly a quarter since 2020, Hagerty’s guide shows. That gap is part of the case for the Mk2. Its owners also skew young: 92% were born since 1965, the youngest owner base on the list.
4. 1955–1962 MG MGA
An MGA 1600 Coupe costs £25,700 in Hagerty’s guide, 10.7% less than five years ago. Its Collectability Percentile is 27.1. Hagerty chose the 1600 as the sweet spot between the earlier 1500 and the Twin Cam and De Luxe models.
By contrast with the Golf, ownership here runs older. According to Hagerty, 65% of its worldwide MGA owners were born before 1965. Octane also reports a strong 1600 at around £25,000.
5. 1993–2002 Toyota Supra A80
No car on the list has gained more. Hagerty values the Supra A80 at £40,000, up 41.8% in five years, with a Collectability Percentile of 84. Toyota released it in 1993, and Hagerty says the UK version was the most powerful made, at 326bhp.
Britain also feeds American demand. The A80 is the fifth most imported classic into the US, and 15% of those imports in the past five years came from the UK, Hagerty reports. Its owners are young, too, because 64% were born since 1981.
6. 1934–1935 Riley Nine Imp
The only pre-war car here is also the second most expensive. Hagerty values a Riley Nine Imp at £60,100, 20% below its level five years ago, with a Collectability Percentile of 56.5. Power comes from a 1,087cc straight-four.
Even so, Hagerty argues that a well-restored Imp offers good value. Its owners are mostly older, though. About 76% were born before 1965, and 20% belong to Gen X.
7. 1965–1977 Ford Transit Mk1
A van makes the list on merit. Hagerty values a 2.0-litre petrol Mk1 Transit at £17,200, up 6.2% in five years, with a Collectability Percentile of 47.2. That engine makes 93bhp, while the 3.0-litre V6 made 138bhp.
This is also the only car where Hagerty talks about upside. Hagerty feels the Mk1 Transit “has room to increase in value.” That is a view, however, not a promise.
8. 1997–2006 Porsche 911 (996)
By Hagerty’s new measure, this is the most collectible car on the list. The 996 scores 88.3, ahead of even the Ferrari. Hagerty values a Carrera 2 3.4 coupe at £17,800, down 2.2% over five years.
Entry prices start in the low teens, Hagerty says. Even for an excellent car, you would be hard pressed to pay more than £25,000. Octane adds that the 996 topped Hagerty’s Collectability Algorithm for 2026.
9. 2004–2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171)
Hagerty values an SLK 200 Kompressor at £5,200, exactly where it sat five years ago. Its Collectability Percentile is 39.
The number that stands out is demand. In 2025, 95% of these SLKs offered at auction sold, the highest sell-through of any car on the list, Hagerty found. For more power, the SLK 55 AMG uses a 5.5-litre, 350bhp V8 and costs roughly double the 200.
10. 1966–1986 Alfa Romeo Spider
Hagerty values a 2000 Veloce Spider at £21,200, down 8.6% over five years, with a Collectability Percentile of 38.2. It calls this 1970s car a great buy at that price, and Octane names the 2000 Veloce as the sweet spot of the range.
The Spider has moved fast before, though. According to Hagerty, the “excellent” value of early round-tail cars soared 44% in the two years from 2015 to 2017.
