Matthewsons
auction on 14th December 2019 - RV8 "remains available"
The reimported 1994 RV8 with a total of 25,500 miles and a guide
price of £20,000 to £22,000. is recorded on
the Matthewsons website as "remains availbale"
so presumably did not sell. That was the case with this car
in November 2019, see below. The vendor says they "purchased
this car from a personal friend, also an MG collector, who kept
this RV8 in his collection for many years". On checking
the MOT test reports on the GOV.UK website it's clear the car
has had very little use - since 2006 to October 2019 the
car has covered only 2,234 miles, an average of 319 miles
pa. Our price guide for an Exceptional condition RV8 in
Woodcote Green is £22,430. The car has not been
registered with the V8 Register's database. 191214

RV8
sells at Barons Annual auction on 10th December 2019
The RV8 was a Japanese spec reimport with a total of 14,214
miles and a guide price of £17,000 to £22,000.
Examining the car beforehand the interior was reasonable and
the engine bay was not as clean as you would expect for a car
described as a "car in overall excellent condition".
So it is likely it was midway between Conditions 1 and 2. Bidding
opened at a modest £10,000 and moved up in increments
of £1,000 to £13,000 when it changed down a gear
to £500 increments eventually reaching a hammer price
of £16,500. Including commission and VAT the buyer would
have paid £18,480 . See
