What's a proper V8S worth?

[jayemm89]

Hi Guys,

I am a complete newbie to the Blackpool rockets, but I have a chance of owning one via a part exchange. As I know so little about them, I wanted to get the general consensus for the V8S - is it a good car and what would you say a MINT one with recent body and engine rebuild is worth, assuming the history is good?

Are there things to look out for even in "good" ones?

I have looked up all the usual buying guides etc, but the V8 seems so rare I can hardly find any for sale to get a feeling of price.

I don't mind paying top money for this car if it is as good as I think, but I don't want to pay over the odds, as I may have to sell it on either later this year or next and don't want to have to take a hit!

Thanks all
James

Its all about condition, a shabby one will fetch between £6-7k, a decent one as you mention should be between £7-£10k and an immaculate top example will fetch between £10-£13k

Its all about condition, mainly the chassis, most other things are not too costly really, I had my V8S for 5 years, absolutely loved it, still miss it, you will not regret buying a V8S, most fun you can have for under £10k without a doubt. As a fun car, its better than a Chimaera or Griffith in the fun department, smiles per mile its the best car there is and Ive owned 911s, Boxters, Maserati Granturismo S etc.

If you want to know everything there is to know about the V8S, drop Andy Hills a note, he is your man.

Buy a good one and you will not regret it.

All IMHO

Cheers

If you are able to give details of the specific car someone on here might know it and be able to give you a view . Not necessarily on value but if its know as a good car.
