Buying an Advert on the V8 Website
Advertising an MGV8 for sale or wanted on the V8 Website
You have a standard advert on the webpage comprising a photo and the description of the car. In that advert you can have a link to a separate A4L PDF document with a full set of photos of your car which will enable prospective purchasers to review the key features of the car before contacting you. See the current adverts for the style, content and size of the text for your advert. You can also have a car "wanted" advert. See current adverts - MGV8s for Sale and RV8s for Sale

Buying an advert is a straightforward three stage process
Stage 1 - prepare the draft text for the advert and select a photo. Get a set of photos for the A4 landscape twin column document. Ideally a photo of each corner of the car, the interior from either side, the engine bay, the boot or hatch and one of a wheel.
Stage 2 - send your text and photos to the V8 Webmaster at email
Stage 3 - Make your payment by using the Online V8 Sales system below - just click the Buy This button and then process your payment on the secure Stripe website. Click the "Claim reduced price" only if you are a current member of the MG Car Club.


Drafting your advert
When drafting your advert, please start with the Colour and Car Number (Vehicle Identification Number), followed by the recorded mileage and a description of the quality, condition, specification, maintenance record, any accessories and any other points of interest. Finally quote the price and your name and telephone and/or email contacts plus the county where the car can be viewed. It is necessary to note whether the sale is a private sale or a trade sale.

Trade or private sale?
All adverts should clarify whether the car is offered for sale by a trader or as a private sale. By "trade sale" we mean a car offered for sale by either an individual as a sole trader or an individual acting on behalf of a commercial business, or by a commercial business. By "private sale" we mean a car offered for sale by the present owner who has owned the car as a V8 enthusiast. We feel this distinction is desirable not least for any UK Sale of Goods Act implications.
