I don't necessarily see this as a firming up..
When I was doing price comparison for insurance purposes I worked out a formula which took into consideration about 15 factors of Morgan Aero's. including veriable factors such as mileage as a pence per mile.
When I input all the advertised car details over the last 2 years (from Miscellany adverts) the formula devised worked out all the predicted prices.
Without any fiddle, they worked out all pretty much within a few hundred pounds of the advertised price and unsurprisingly the trend away from the prediction tended to be around which dealer was advertising. Hence dealer pricing trends.
Whilst I have not input the details of this car, it is where I would expect (car & dealer combo) once you look at all the veriables I would say it fits as well.
I will say that there is also a Morgan Aero Mk1 at the moment advertised for only £33k... so whilst prices seem to be holding above the £30k mark they do conform in a predictable way... I think a trend up is only down to newer and lower mileage cars coming onto the market.
There are obviously a few exceptions but these tend to be because of mitigating circumstances.
