RV8
rear lamp offered at an eyewatering £1,500!
The seller is bibbly_bobbly and
they even offer deferred payment terms of £71 per month over
24 months - a total of £1,704. That's 13.6% on the price of
£1,500!
Update on the seller's ill-informed & misleading claim
In fact good progress is being made by Clive Wheatley and a fellow
RV8 enthusiast with their hard work of making a new RV8 rear lamp
unit so a supply of the RV8 rear lamp units is now very likely
to be available in the next four weeks or so.
It feels as though the seller is pushing their luck - with the good
news above fellow RV8 enthusiasts should steer well clear of the current
eBay offer.

Ian
Quarrington spotted an RV8 rear lamp unit seems to have reappeared
offered for sale at £1,500! A similar, if not the
same, lamp was seen recently advertised for sale at £950
and it seems it is just re-advertised again on eBay - for an
eyewatering price of £1,500. |

The
seller notes: Used MG RV8 rear light unit no longer made,
this is likely the only one in the world for sale currently.
The advert adds "Genuine 1995 MG RV8 Rear light cluster.
Extremely rare item, all tooling for this unique part was destroyed
by the engineering company. You will see this item is advertised
by two UK suppliers, however they have had no stock for over
3 years, and no-one is manufacturing this item now so
they will not have any stock in the near future. This is likely
the only one available in the world for sale right now. Price
of delivery reflects level of insurance required for this rare
item."
