    It's only £4k. Almost worth looking into bringing it back to the UK.

    In 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!

    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).

    Default Whopping reduction in Germany

    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
    https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc26...748#post200748

    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/mgoc26...N-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!

    Default Whopping reduction in Germany

    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/mgoc26...678#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?

    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.
