Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
" Invoice for£756.24 for the tyres and MOT dated October last year." Those were expensive tyres.
I also see the seller is one Doctor who is a keen reseller of exceptional vehicles.................. yeah, ok.
I reckon the car is worth around £3k at best. I wonder what work it's had done due to the cost of the last MOT. Tyres £200, MOT £50 and £500 for ???

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
I dont think a car in this condition can have a price put against it as there are not any others of the same standard to compare it against, so its value has to be what ever someone is willing to pay. If i had the sort of money that this is fetching I would buy it. If you could walk into a Rover showroom today and buy a brand new 800 you probably would too. So to pay under half for what is in reality a nearly new car and rare by its condition surely then it is worth it.
I for one welcome the higher prices that 800's are now realising, for too long we have said they are not valued high enough but when they do reach good prices we say I wouldn't pay that for it? I don't get it.
Not having a pop at you Gordon just an opinion the same as yours. If this car is only worth 3k then that puts most of our cars at no more than a grand and I for one would be looking at 3k for either of my Mk2 cars.

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
What Steve said ^^^^^
I've heard that insurers Adrian Flux regard any 800 as being worth at least £2k but when you consider the apparent provenance of this car, the mileage etc then i don't really see £10k as being out of the way for it, despite the fact it's a "poverty spec" 827Si model. I know of one member on here who has a Mk1 820Si that is insured with an agreed value of £10k, higher mileage but similar condition and probably cleaner and more polished overall.
Back in July last year i was offered £5k for my Coupé but as i've pointed out many times elsewhere on here and as Steve rightly says (in a manner of speaking) where would i get another? I wouldn't, not in the condition mine is in now, granted it's not perfect, there are a few niggles to sort but even if i had sold it and then bought another on ebay for let's say a grand, i would have spent the other £4k bringing that up to the standard mine is already at, if not more.
Having seen Steves Mk2s, i would say you're under-selling them at £3k Steve - more like £6k each to be honest if not more.

Re: Timewarp 827 on Fleabay - G404 GOH
As long as the car IS as good as it looks and not just "polished" (which is the forte' of the vendor) then I'd expect the car to realise about £6k. The market is rapidly waking up to the 800 and articles like the one in this months classic car mart is going to help no end. There will soon be a very large split in prices from about £600-£100000 with ropey low spec models at the lower range and top quality low mileage cars at the upper range. Leading the charge will be any of the turbo Vitesse range and the 827 Coupe with any Mk1 car in excellent condition probably being the pinnacle. The KV6 range is starting to see favour with a new group of buyers so values for those are firming up the most at present.
All in all I can see a great year ahead for 800 values.

I wouldn't buy another KV6
Not unless it was really cheap and had 100k on the clock.
