Sale - RV8 race/road car
Flame Red 0326 is the "Works" car raced by Team
Cowley MG. The car was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show with
the bodywork originally finished in Woodcote Green. The car
returned to Cowley after the show and was kept in the Showbay.
In 1996 the car was stripped to its component parts and built
into a new and unique bodyshell on the British Motor Heritage
stand at the 1996 Essen Techno Classica Motor Show. The build
featured unique black and red trim, three piece Minilite wheels,
a white hardtop etc. At the end of the show the car was presented
to the Cowley Plant Director for use by TCMG. It was then raced,
with many successes, between 1996 and 2000 in the MG Car Club's
BCV8 Championship and the Phoenix Challenge. The car is road
legal, with new catalysts, tax and MOT. All the parts needed
to return to race spec are included, plus most of Essen trim,
Minilites etc along with a spare painted bodykit, new hood,
decals, photos etc. Realistically priced at £14,950.

Beware
of scam from an overseas V8 buyer!
Rick
Morton (Woodcote Green 1300) has reported a scam which members
who are selling a V8 need to note. Rick says "I
just thought I would update you on my experience with trying
to sell my RV8 recently before I withdrew it from sale.
Both Jerry Winfield (Woodcote Green 1684) and I heard from
the same person but I also had several other emails with
roughly the same approach.
How does the scam work? "This person,
who is overseas, agrees to buy your car and will send you
a cheque for more than the asking price to cover shipping
costs etc. He then asks if you could bank the cheque and
send the balance to his shipping agent via a money transfer.
The cheque bounces but only after you have sent the cash
to the shipping agent. This scam relies on your ignorance
of how the cheque clearing system works. Problems arise
because banks update their computers on day three of the
clearing cycle. So if you check with them at that time,
you may very well be told that the funds are available.
It will only be on day four that the bank realises that
there is a problem, and on day five that they tell you.
Weekends and Bank Holidays all add to the delay. In my case
the scam merchant was going to send me a cheque for £3,400
more than I was asking for the car. I was to subtract the
cost of the car and send the remainder to his "shipping
agent"." So members need to be alert to this
scam and any approach from the scam merchant!

Important
note
Members in the UK are encouraged to buy reimported RV8s from established
and reputable UK based specialist RV8 reimporters
who have the capability and skills to check the vehicles thoroughly
on arrival in the UK so they are prepared to comply with the UK
vehicle regulations. Buying from a UK reimporter will enable a UK
member to inspect the car personally in the UK and/or arrange for
their nominated motor vehicle engineer to do so before taking delivery
and releasing their funds in payment. Additionally the purchase
will be covered by UK consumer law with the protections, rights
and remedies that they may provide. For a useful note on the options
for reimporting an RV8 to the UK, see RV8NOTE192.
