160206 Posted: 160106 |  |  | An
exceptional RV8 in Oxford Blue sold for £17,584 including the
buyer's premium and VAT at a Classic Car Auctions' sale as it was a UK spec, pre-production
car which had been used for a power steering test installation by MG Rover, so
inevitably with those exceptional features it attracted a premium price. CCA graded
the car as 3 stars out of 5, possibly in the middle of our Conditions 1 and 2.
The buyer's premium was 10%. |  | A
good looking RV8 in Woodcote Green sold for £11,800 at Bonhams'
auction including the buyer's premium and VAT. It was a Japan spec reimported
example in Woodcote Green with a modest mileage of 37,000 and the condition looked
good, possibly Condition 1 but almost certainly Condition 2. It appears this car
was sold at a discount to our guide prices - 24% below Condition 1 and 17% below
the mid Condition 1 and 2 price and surprisingly 9% below our Condition 2 price. | Both
prices above include the buyer's premium and VAT on that fee payable to the auction
house. For an explanation of the Condition classes we use for our MGV8 price
guides, see Condition
