    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!

    As far as the spec goes, Steve, it's pretty standard Conny SE as far as I can see, apart from the Vortex 18" wheels (and Monogram paint of course).
    IIRC the Xenon's came in a rather illogical extras package for the Rover as against the MG variants, which may explain why a lot ended up with projectors instead, like my otherwise "loaded" (sorry !!!) Olive.

    Does it not concern anyone that all the photos are date stamped from 2014?

    I called the owner, but the reserve is more than I want to pay.
