    Thumbs up Rover 75 V8 tourer on ebay

    As heading really. Been talking to the owner through ebay. Description on paint colour is wrong. It's the only Nocturne 75 estate made.

    There is a guess of the going price and a reserve on the Enthusiasts.

    Got nothing recorded against it Pete to suggest its had a hard life so worth a punt. One of only 16 tourers made and the only Nocturne 75 V8. I'd buy and swap it with my 75 V6 tourer but not enough money in the piggy bank for it. The wife would say yes but I would have to sell the bikes, the 75 and be a slave to her for the next ten years.

    I've advised him on the prices at the moment for this type of car Andy, which is another reason I'd not bid myself.

    A small bidding war occurring between two people for this one so far

    I know one of them I suspect as he has waited for this to come to market for many years

    Very nice car and probably a good investment if sparingly used. Shame it does not have Zenon lights, a curious omission considering it has everything else.

    Irreplaceable if the worse happened.

    How many of the other 16 are still on the road? I remember seeing a picture of one on flat tyres abandoned in a car park a few years ago.

    How do prices generally compare from MG to Rover? Do they seem the same or does one brand command a premium?

    I guess it will differ from country to country anyway, Jake. LHD cars are scarce anyway as you doubtless found out, but the greater rarity of LHD R75V8's makes them more expensive than the MG's I think, but there are so few ever on the market of either marque, its very difficult to say. I do know that my R75V8 has just had an independent valuation for insurance at Euros 25K, which is very high, but in line with the handful I have ever seen for sale. I believe rarity was a major factor in the valuation. I wasn't even asked what I thought!
