Is the owner on here?
Don't think so, but I will try and contact John to see if it is indeed his car, and is a photograph to which he has rights, and, if so, has given permission to the auction house to use it. In any event I will remove/replace the photo in our complete list, to be sure.

I tend to assume that a photo published in that way would be the legal property (or vested right) of the publisher. Not always correct, maybe. Thanks for pointing that out gents !

David

[David]

I've got a reply from John confirming that it is indeed his car in the photo, and that his car is NOT for sale !
He is contacting the Auction house.

David

[T16]

Gotta love the internets, where you can't get away with anything.

[David]

Yep. Could well be though, that if the photo was taken of the car in a public place, like the POL for example, the person who took the photo probably has more rights than John! Depends how it came to be in the auction house's photo library, though.

Strange world ...

Yes indeed it appears to be. In fact for a week or so it was on the Car and Classics site at £7,500 as well as on several other sites in advertisements placed by the dealer, all at £9,950. I told the dealer, who rapidly made sure the C&C ad was removed! Didn't bother thanking me though :)

David

[David]

Just seen that the price of the Rover 75 V8 at Hursley Hil & SMG (the Platinum one with only 20 miles on the clock), has been drastically changed from the previous asking price of £29,995. I guarantee you will be shocked!

Go to their site 'Showroom' and check the box next to Make 'Rover' : https://www.hursleyhillgarage.co.uk/vehicle/usedvehicles

David

[SCP440]

Maybe he has had offer and realised he needs to put the price up to stop potential customers?

As has been discussed numerous times he will be lucky to ever sell that.

Steve

[David]

Maybe putting all his prices up, prior to the "20% off Sale" in 6 weeks time.
Call me cynical ...

David

[T16]

lol what a tool. I just don't get "dealers" like this, he must have sat on it for what, 3 years now?!
Sooner or later it will be a non-runner with all the rubbers perishing!

[David]

... he must have sat on it for what, 3 years now ...
14 years, more like.

In that specification, pretty much exactly the same asking price now as the official MGR catalog price when it was built in September 2004, not that they would have paid anything like that figure, of course.

David

[SteveTD]

I offered him £23k a few years back and they were fairly rude about what I thought was a good offer!

[SCP440]

I know someone who offered him 25k as long as it came with a full warranty and new tyres and he was told that he would not even consider it. The price was all he would accept and not a penny less and it was sold as seen

Steve

[SteveTD]

If it had been in a notable colour (anything other than insipid platinum) I could have been tempted.....as it stands - no chance.

Hi David.My friend Richard Munslow bought the ZTT V8 from Beech Hill Garage on Wednesday.The Rover V8 was still there.I see our friend at Hursley Hill has Raised his Price? Bye for now.

[David]

Hi David.My friend Richard Munslow bought the ZTT V8 from Beech Hill Garage on Wednesday.The Rover V8 was still there... Thanks, Barry. Saw on Wednesday that the ZT-T was sold. Noticed it almost by accident, when checking some detail about their R75V8 on the Beech Hill Garage's own site. Car & Classic were still running that ZT-T ad up until yesterday evening.


... I see our friend at Hurley Hill has Raised his Price? ... Quite a few cars were increased in price when showrooms and forecourts started to open up in June. Trying to compensate for lost revenue during the lockdown, I assume! Can't see that it has helped a lot, the majority still being for sale. I think the guys at Hursley Hill SMG have a taken it to the extreme! Lets see what happens to the 2k miles R75V8 to be auctioned on the 26th (See: https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?13272-Complete-List-of-260s-FOR-SALE&p=188407#post188407).

WOW.Wonder how many Bidded for it.

[David]

WOW.Wonder how many Bidded for it.
Difficult to say. I registered and watched the whole auction up to the R75V8 on streaming video. Prices were very strong across the board again. I saw 3 internet bidders and I think there was at least one commision bidder for the Rover. The hammer actually fell at £17,000 (unsold), so the sale was obviously the result of sanctioned post-auction negotiations between seller and bidder(s). Not clear if the stated £19,244 included the 10% or 11% buyer's fee or not.

Edit (David): Looks like that is 17,000 + internet-buyer fees + VAT on fees.

David

[T16]

Its £10k less than the garage was asking for around 3 years.

News to me, Ross. Which garage was that, do you recall? Never saw it advertised at any of the "regular watering holes".
Not confusing it with the 20 miles Platinum R75V8, #702, in Bristol are you, maybe? That one has been for sale for nearer 13 years though.

David

[T16]

Oh maybe I am then! I thought there was only one silver 75V8 that had the showroom mileage on it.

13 years?? This must be some sort of record.

Thank you, for creating my account at the Two-Sixties!
The MG ZT 260 SE in British Racing Green offered in Portugal is no longer available (I think since April 2021). FS Automóveis told me yesterday the MG ZT is sold. You can see it on the website of FS Automóveis as well.
I will look forward for a nother interesting offer (of an MG ZT or Rover 75 V8).

With best regards, Gordon

[David]

... The MG ZT 260 SE in British Racing Green offered in Portugal is no longer available ... Gordon
Thanks for that information, Gordon.
Both the 'Complete List of 260s FOR SALE' and the '... SOLD in 2021' list have now been updated.

The FS site still show it as For Sale (MG ZT260 V8 | FS Automóveis (fsautomoveis.com) (https://fsautomoveis.com/en/viaturas/mg-zt260-v8/)) and it doesn't appear in their "Cars Sold" section either. Pity that sites like that often go without being updated for months!

SteveIn January 2019 #819, a Raven Black R75V8, came up for sale in Pretoria at only few hundreds more. Appears to be the "market price" for R75V8's in South Africa. I did find out what importation and transport to the UK would cost and believe me it would NOT be worth it. Vehicle cost @ £4,000, ~£4,000 container sea-transport, port handling fees (both ends), costs of registration, 10% duty and UK VAT on all of that... and then fixing the MIL light to get it MOT'd.

Fanciful ideas of driving one back (like Richard Hammond did with an Opel Kadett B), came out as massively more expensive than a container, and highly dangerous!

David

[SCP440]

Yes I came to the same conclusion getting it back. I know someone who brought an Escort MK1 with a low mileage and in immaculate condition from South Africa, the costs to get it back exceeded what he had paid for the car and if it had been a lesser vehicle he would have been out of pocket.

He came round my house while i was working on my ZT after he had just bought the car. He wasn't impressed at all with it and wanted to get red straight away. I did take a look over it while it was here and he was missing a few things on it but overall I thought it was a nice car

Moved from the Complete List of 260s FOR SALE to this thread (David).

Price reductions aren't normally worthy of mention on the Forum except that this one in Germany is maybe of note. VIN #867, a RHD Rover 75 V8 in Germany was just reduced by just over 50% from Euro 19,999 to Euro 9,999. At Euro 19,999 the car had been for sale in Germany now for 18 months.
Desperate seller? Maybe just realistic, since virtually no cars are moving in Germany at the moment

This particular car, an ex-diplomatic car destined for Malaysia, was later owned by member 'GMTA' in Holland, who tried unsuccessfully to sell the car for over a year, finally dropping to below Euro 5000. Once sold to Germany it was immediately advertised at Euro 19,999, a huge mark up I think you will agree.
https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?18610-Rover-75-V8-VIN-867-for-sale

When owned by member GMTA, I looked at buying it myself, for SWBO who loves my 75 V8, and easy to view being only 8km from where I live in Holland, but the costs of a new ECU to solve the EVAP codes, 4 Vortexes with proper size tyres, and bumper/grille to replace the Roewe one put me off. I suspected other problems could well be lurking too. Biggest factor was that it was RHD, which meant that my wife gave the idea the thumbs down. Anyway 2 R75V8s on the drive is a bit gross. His and hers V8s for two OAPs to boot!

Whopping reduction in Germany (again).

It has happened again today. Another Rover 75 V8 in Germany has been halved in price. Also Black coincidentally, and also previously advertised at a tad under 20,000 Euro. Now for 9,990. The previous car a month ago was a RHD, so maybe more understandable. This is not, and therefore one of only 36 LHD R75V8 saloons made and very rare and normally "desirable". https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?13272-Complete-List-of-260s-FOR-SALE&p=200678#post200678

It looks like or cars are be "downgraded" in the modern-classic market-place from the heady heights of prices being asked in the last yar or so in Germany. The fact that no cars appear to be moving at all abroad is however perhaps a sign of the times generally and an equally likely reason. The ZT260, is not (yet) 'discounted' in Germany, but the German 260 market, is also totally dead as it is here in Holland, and perhaps even in France? I fear that the UK may not be far behind, and a price slump cannot be ruled out. The current UK market is certainly very 'slack'.

Seems to be the way ATM but may also be the time of year?

[SCP440]

A good friend who deals in classic is finding at the moment a lot of stuff that traditionally would have flown out of the showroom is not moving unless it has a Ford badge on it and is sporty. Even E types are struggling to fetch 80% of what they were 12 months ago even if perfect. Anything tatty is not even getting a look at. He has even been offered cars from other dealers at well below trade prices.
