Auction listing Review of this car Andy Goves reports "this RV8 failed to sell this afternoon at the CCA auction and as you can see above the highest offer was only £12,500 by a bidder attending the auction Today the CCA website says "buy now for £15,800". Comment > An unusual outcome as MGV8s usually sell well at CCA auctions. > RV8s seem sensitive to mileage when up for sale which seems odd and on the face of it the discount for a car with more than 50,000 miles seems to be a strange feature of the market at present. As V8 engines are long lived and the RV8 bodywork has improved rust protection, which was certainly better than that on the original MGBGTV8 models, the condition is usually good. This RV8 has not been registered with the V8 Database so we have no record of the car, its owner(s) or its history.
