Final Edition D2 S8, are they really worth this much?
 

Just out of interest... I know it's only done 35K but my interior looks better than that...

Ebay S8 Final Edition

MG

Only if someone is daft enough to pay it

It's had 2 services in 10 years :o bet the cambelt hasn't been changed either...

Don't think that's a final edition in any case with that colour combo and heated rear seats

I'd reckon properly serviced and in 100% condition it might fetch £7.5k. It's not had the upgrades mine has had done and the mileage isn't much lower than when I bought mine, but mine had had £7k of recommissioning expenditure!

...and someone might. It's has been very nicely prepared, and on eBay that can make a bit of a difference, though I doubt £4-5k of a difference.
There are also some other very nice cars on this site (e.g BMW 3.0 csl - very, very nice, but very pricey again)

All their cars are expensive and they sell, they are concours condition cars bought by collectors and shipped all over the world. Not your average run of the mill car dealer, or price. I was quite excited to see they had a D2 S8 in, I follow their stock all the time.

I've done a few convertible soft top replacements for them (I do this for a living). Their stock is very mouth watering although you have to pay the price obviously. Location could be a bit better as they are based on a farm.

They've had this for sale for nearly 2 years and the price has dropped from about £16k iirc - I used to frequent Alpina forums when I was looking for a B10 3.3 before I bought the S8.

Guess it depends if they're happy to hang on to stock!

I'd still be put off by the lack of regular servicing - even a car that's had irregular use should really be serviced every 2 years, even on longlife.

From the description and mileage it wouldn't surprise me if it was due tyre, front brakes, cambelt before delivery - hopefully any work required would be covered at that price, but I suspect this is one that'll be stuck in stock for a good long while.

12 grand for any D2 is absurd, That's encroaching on D3 S8 money, and I know which I would spend such a sum on.

Oh well, there's a sucker born every second...

Unless (he said hopefully) the D2 is at last becoming recognised as a classic car and so prices will begin to climb back from the 'give-away' level. Everyone I know is amazed at how cheap the car is to buy at it's current price and we often see those who aren't so close to the market asking too much. Fingers crossed! :)

Defo not final edition.

But, very tidy and quite rare at that mileage.

Doubt its rare enough to command 12K, but they're in the business of selling collectables - So why not punt it out high and see what happens?

I suspect it will end up going for four figures, but on a good day could start with an 8 or 9 with such low mileage.
