How
do you price an exceptional car?
In his updated price review
earlier in 2015, Adam Fiander observed "the question of buying a modified,
restored or mostly original car is a personal and subjective matter. Certainly
rubber bumper MGBGTV8s converted to chrome spec are not worth the equivalent value
of a Factory built original chrome bumper car on a like-for like condition basis.
Whether the addition of leather seats and walnut dashboards and other non-original
“cosmetic” modifications enhance, or even maintain value, is questionable
and can only be answered on a case by case basis.
Cars of the very
highest values sold at auction, through dealers or as private sales, are nearly
always those examples that have originality at their core. These exceptional examples
normally have a very low recorded mileage, a fully documented history and a low
number of previous owners.
Cars that have been fully restored need
to have been done so to a high standard of fit and finish to ensure top value.
Often the eye watering cost of a full restoration at today’s labour and parts
rates is a personal choice undertaken by very passionate owners, who may struggle
to recoup their considerable investment when they come to sell. For buyers appearing
at the right time and right place, often a very well sorted car with fresh metal,
fresh paint, new engine and refurbished interior can be be exceptionally good
value for money. Smallish upgrades such as electronic ignition and similar modifications
are not going to affect values much either way." | Detailed
Pricewatch listings
We have suspended featuring pictures and details of
the Factory MGBGTV8s and RV8s seen advertised for sale or listed for auction as
entries on this Pricewatch page as we have had limited feedback indicating it
seems the pages are not followed by many members or visitors looking for an MGV8.
However our two volunteers have offered to continue monitoring both adverts for
MGV8s for sale and auction listings and from the data they collect we will generate
our periodic updated Price Guides and market reports for the Factory MGBGTV8 and
RV8 models. |  | £19,250
