To get any idea of the likely value of your car for sales purposes,we suggest you have a look in the price guides found in most classic car magazines (eg Practical Classics,Classic & Sportscar,Classics etc),available in most good newsagents.These values are only a guide ,no one can give you a definate figure,a car is only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for it.
The condition of the car is the major factor in determining it's value,the bodywork condition is especially important.A high mileage car which has been well maintained may be far more desirable than a neglected,rusty,lower mileage example and this will be reflected in its value.Although the Dolomite Sprint generally commands the highest price,remember that a tired example in need of attention may be worth less than a well maintained Toledo,it really is the condition of the vehicle which matters most.
It's generally accepted that the Sprint is the top of the range model,its value being highest. The values reduce going down through the range according to engine size and trim level.HL models are worth more,overdrive gearboxes also add to a car's value.A Triumph 1500TC should be valued at about the same figure as a Dolomite 1500,a Toledo roughly the same as a Dolomite 1300,although being tax exempt (i.e. if the car was built before 1st January 1973) will increase its value. Front wheel drive models are of similar value to the Dolomite range,the 1300TC is accepted as being of slightly higher value than the single-carb version.
As you can probably imagine,it's pretty hard to put a definate value on a car,but scanning the asking prices of the cars for sale on our website may give you an indication of the going rate for a Dolomite.
