| Nostalgia
driven demand for classic cars Many remember the cars they admired in their younger years and some models remain cars they wished they had owned then. But now in later life they can often feel there is an opportunity to get one and enjoy the car, not least the pleasure of owning and driving what is now an attractive classic car. Many recall a nimble MG with a V8 engine with its very pleasingly modest but purposeful burble in keeping with its understated manner. But who are the enthusiasts in that age group? Here we look at those today who would have been in the age range 20 to 35 when the MGBGTV8 and MGRV8 models were launched in the 1970s and 1990s. Often their memories are a key factor in their feeling they would like to get one now - that nostalgia can be a powerful driver in wanting to get one. The article highlights those who were 20, 25 or 30 years old when they would have seen the MGV8s were in production as a new sports car and on sale supported by attractive advertisements and frequently seen out on the roads. Today those young people who dreamed of owning one will be near the age range 60 to 75 for an MGBGTV8 and 50 to 65 for an MGRV8. We also look at how many MGBGTV8s and MGRV8s are still taxed or on a SORN in the UK. Link to article See our recent updated MGV8 price guides & market review. Link Posted: 260111 |
