Yes, definitely think the market is softening. I race in formula ford (classic/historic) and it look like prices have softened at least 10% in the last couple of years. But it's not really surprising when you look at the increasing cost of circuit racing coupled with the increased costs of living.
For things like Grp2 Escorts and Sierras, the cost to race these cars competitively these days is enormous. I imagine nearly all would be professionally maintained, possibly with trackside assistance ('the artics'). It sort of reminds me of the people who bought supercars in the 80s and 90s when you needed to be able to afford double to actually use them!
