	Private sale - MG RV8 P494 WMJ - SOLD Woodcote Green 2150, full service history covering the last 20 years. Bought last year from top MG specialist Brown and Gammons, which serviced the car for many years but space (and funds) now needed to restore a J-type MG. It has been scrupulously cared for and updated, and has a top-class paint job and much of the trim has been renewed as has the hood. Being Japanese spec, it also has fully working air conditioning (essential at the moment). Total mileage according to Brown and Gammons is 71,000 miles but it’s looks almost like new under the bonnet. The MGCC history folder has MOT certificates from 2002 plus receipts for power-steering, Spax shockers, catalytic converters, stainless steel exhaust, ECU chip, spot lights, Sony radio, immobiliser, wind deflector and much more. I am in the process of acquiring a ‘basket case’ 1932 MG J-type which will require all my time, funds and workshop space – hence the sale. £19,750. 220807 Location Silverstone

Beware of scam from an overseas V8 buyer!
Rick Morton (Woodcote Green 1300) has reported a scam which members who are selling a V8 need to note. Rick says "I just thought I would update you on my experience with trying to sell my RV8 recently before I withdrew it from sale. Both Jerry Winfield (Woodcote Green 1684) and I heard from the same person but I also had several other emails with roughly the same approach." How does the scam work? "This person, who is overseas, agrees to buy your car and will send you a cheque for more than the asking price to cover shipping costs etc. He then asks if you could bank the cheque and send the balance to his shipping agent via a money transfer. The cheque bounces but only after you have sent the cash to the shipping agent. This scam relies on your ignorance of how the cheque clearing system works. Problems arise because banks update their computers on day three of the clearing cycle. So if you check with them at that time, you may very well be told that the funds are available. It will only be on day four that the bank realises that there is a problem, and on day five that they tell you. Weekends and Bank Holidays all add to the delay. In my case the scam merchant was going to send me a cheque for £3,400 more than I was asking for the car. I was to subtract the cost of the car and send the remainder to his "shipping agent"." So members advertising here need to be alert to this scam and any approach from the scam merchant!
