Has
anybody seen the RV8?
The
discovery of a treasure trove of 60 classic cars was the lead article in the latest
issue of Classic Car Weekly on 5th October 2017 and reported in our NEWS item.
They were said to be heading for auction at ACA on Saturday 27th January 2018,
most with no reserve!
Our
Pricewatch spotter, Keith Belcher, reported he had seen an RV8 in the corner
of one of the photos - see alongside. In the weeks that have passed three
MGBGTV8s have found their way onto the ACA website but as yet there has been no
sign of the RV8. Has anyone any information on this RV8 or seen it?
