Don't think you're talking it down Brian, simply being reasonable.

There is no doubt that a well cared for Plus 8 will command strong money; however, circa £50k asking is about £15,000 over market value (based on recent sales).

Furthermore, I'd concur with the LE status - this doesn't automatically equate to an inflated price. Add to that the colour - dark purple with mulberry leather and hood is an acquired taste - and I simply do not see a Plus 8 just shy of £50,000.

The £49K Roadster has been sold - but that doesn't mean for £49k.

I'm glad it's not just me re the Plus 8 price. I thought it might be my Yorkshire credentials showing through........

BUT - I really like plummy purple with the red interior. If I were to spec a new Trad, BL Black Tulip (non-metallic) would be on my short list. It never came with a red interior option on an MGB, but looks well with Tan, or what BL called Ochre (yellow).

Mmmmmmm.

LE badging doesn't add anything really, although I do like the LM62's. Would I pay more for one??? No - I'd pay more for a minter though, whether LE or not.

As an aside......It's also interesting that there are a couple of 4 Seater Roadsters on sale at well over £40k................

There are also some damned good ones at a deal less:

Oops, sorry. The 'other' Roadster at Mike Duncan's is a 2-seater, 2004 car at 32K) The 4-seater which is still there ( Feb '08 car, very nice spec) is 44K

In either case, IMHO, these stack up as a better deal that the Pistonheads +8

Apologies to Dave W for getting my figures wrong

This one must set a few records:

It isn't cheap but it does look nice.

I can see the rev counter bouncing around but the speedometer does not appear to move!!
