Hagerty
Classic Index l aunched The UK Hagerty Price Guide is now firmly established
as the most comprehensive classic car valuation tool in the UK that is freely
accessible. But monitoring well over 1,500 classic car model values is difficult,
so Hagerty has created a series of indices that show trends, both in the market
as a whole and in specific sectors. The first of these, launched in December 2015,
is the Hagerty Classic Index. The Classic Index monitors the values of 50 classic
car models that were chosen to be representative of the enthusiasts market
in the UK. The MGBGTV8 is included in that group of 50 cars.

Update
your agreed value when renewing your classic car insurance cover With the
substantial rise in MGBGTV8 values over the last few years, many members might
find the agreed value forming a key part of their classic car motor insurance
cover may be well below current market prices and need updating to avoid being
underinsured. 150819 More
Investment
activity in the classic car market continues to lift prices The major factor
lifting classic car prices over recent years has been the increase in investor

signs MGV8 prices are on the move A number of signs seen over the last
few months suggest a further upward price movement in classic cars is likely over
the next 12 months and in some other areas too. Some of the funds that will be
released under the new pension access rules are likely to go into classic cars
and lift demand and prices. 150220 More

.MGBGTV8 prices
poised to rise Keith Belcher thinks that with many other classic cars where
values are seen on the rise, reports of investors moving into the classic car
market again and the prospect of funds released when some pensions are soon to
be freed up, all it needs is for the MGBGTV8 to be praised on a prime time show
and that will see V8 prices rise. 150117 More

MGBGTV8: the greatest unsung MG? Classic Car magazine ran an
article by Graeme Hurst in January 2010 which raised the "undiscovered qualities"
of the model again: "With just 2591 cars built (compared to the 125,282 regular
GTs that rolled out of Abingdon), the BGT V8 is a real rarity in MG terms, yet
little more than a footnote in the marques history. Throw in the ravages
of the British climate and spiralling costs of restoration, and that figure will
have been significantly slashed over the years making a V8 rarer today
than many of the hand-built rivals that cost 5-6 times as much when they were
new. Surely it is now time for this forgotten great of the classic world to get
the recognition it deserves" .This
article was originally published in the January 2010 issue of Classic & Sports
Car magazine. 160418 Link
