Trader offers Factory MGBGTV8 sold in August with a 60% mark-up in barely two months At £26,995 it is priced just below the "Exceptional" price of £27,130 in our MGV8 price guide updated in May 2016.. That is an astonishing £10,485 or 60% higher than the advertised price barely two months earlier in August 2016 of £16,500. Many V8 enthusiasts might feel the latest offered price is unrealistic but clearly worth a try for a trader. Realistically this car would be valued at nearer £20,000 or £21,000 and probably less. So it's on offer at about 32% or so above a realistic price. But of course there may be "alternative investment buyers" out there impressed by both the car and the upgrades and the smooth talk of a trader - we shall see! See our MGV8 Price Guide charts.
