Swiss enthusiast buys an Aconite MGBGTV8 through the V8 website Don Parrott placed an advert on the V8 website on 18th August and received calls from Germany, France, Holland, England and Switzerland. "The photos on the V8 website sold the car - the Swiss chap had studied them very carefully before flying over!" A Swiss MG enthusiast, Markus Amhof from Basle, flew over to England at the weekend to buy Don Parrott's exceptional, low mileage MGBGTV8 which he had seen advertised on the V8 website. He came with the cash, looked over the car, drove it up the road with Don and then said "that's enough - it drives well and feels just right. It's an honest car and the best I've seen". So they drove round to Don's bank and paid in the cash together watching the teller count the notes for credit to Don's account. With the deal complete, Markus then set off for Dover to drive the V8 back to Switzerland. Meanwhile we have contacted Victor Rodrigues at the V8-Register Switzerland to let him know another V8 was heading his way to join their active group - some 35 MGV8s owned by 31 V8 members . Don had read our comprehensive guide to buying and selling an MGV8 and noted the "safe payment" section. He also mentioned he had received serious enquiries in response to the advert from Germany, France, Holland and England and said "it was clear the good quality photos on the additional page really helped sell tha car" Don was sad to see the V8 go but delighted it had all gone so well.
