Buy it for 7, fix it for 1 and a half, and re-sell it for 10.

It seems the V8s are in a market all of their own. They're obviously rare but don't seem to be generally regarded enough as holy grails so as to be seriously sought after. I've seen some chokingly high prices being put up but haven't been able to find the admiring gasps to go with them.

V8 prices can vary quite a lot, dependent on spec (especially if a Monogram car), originality (but more for a supercharged car) and mileage.

To my mind that's quite a keen estimate for a +100K car in the colour and condition noted above as it has nothing going for it in any of the three areas.

Probably make 5k at auction

Depends what you mean by gasps, V8s are changing hands (54 in 2022 that the TwoSixties tracked), with the highest 'chokingly high price' being £25K (but that was a concours supercharged ZT-T).

Cars under 100K miles regularly go for £10K - £15K, the one above was an exception but there are bargains to be had, especially at auctions.

There is a MK2 ztt v8 for sale now in the Netherlands with arround 120.000km and askingprice is € 20.950,--
serious money for a almost 20 year old V8.
would love to have one, preferbly a mk1 ZTT V8, but not for that kind of money.
But cant blame the seller for trying.

Worth you buying in the UK and transporting it back to the Netherlands.

In your dreams, lucky if it makes £5K and it’ll never be worth much more

So it made £6,900. Interesting.
