 Often 
a heated topic amongst V8 enthusiasts but what is clear is there are now parallel

 What 
can the V8 badging reveal?
 The current badging on a V8 can give useful 
clues as to whether a car has been restored at some stage. More
 
 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 todays 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."

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.
