High fuel prices have an impact on the value of thirsty cars, and always have: The oil crisis of the 70's meant you couldn't give away big motors, and I recall buying a big volvo for buttons in 2008, last time fuel went crazy.
A year ago this would have gotten £3k when all anyone wanted was wheels, but nowadays.... you'll be checking how much is in the tank before bidding...
Also, the prospect of an expanded ULEZ in London has made sub-historic vehicles less attractive to about 10% of the population, so along with the glut of London 240s hitting the market there'll be all those urban drivers who will want an electric car instead of a hipster car.
So l'd predict more sub-£1000 240s (please) and good luck to the dealers still trying to get £8-10k.
