How
much does an MGR plate fetch?
Many RV8 enthusiasts
on buying their car without the distinctive "MGR"
plate have considered getting an MGR registratiojn number but
how much are they selling for? Here a longstanding RV8 enthusiast,
Peter Kuruber who has recently acquired a rare RV8GT, relates
how he sold the MGR plate on his previous RV8 after it had been
sold to a buyer in France.

Following
the sale of his rare RV8 in Old English White to
a buyer in France, Peter Kuruber advertised his
"MGR" registration plate for sale and
made a prompt sale. Peter reports "it was difficult
putting a price on the plate, so I discussed a valuation
with one of the many dealers for a valuation and
then decided to offer it at £500. I am pleased
to say it sold, actually within a
few days of it appearing for sale on the V8 website.

did not quibble and agreed to pay half the £105
retain/transfer fee as well." Peter mentioned
the buyer, who has a 1980 MGB which has just been
restored at great cost, says he bought the plate
because he thinks it should be preserved as part
of RV8 history. He hopes to be able to own an RV8
in the future. Peter adds "I don’t know
what other RV8 owners have had to pay for their
MGR plates" but would be pleased to hear from
fellow RV8 enthusiasts on their experiences of getting
an MGR plate. |
