Default Swarm of V8's on Ebay

Is there new legislation landing that makes V8 ownership prohibitive? Only ask as there are currently 7 available for sale on Ebay - prices From £4500 - £14k - usually rare to see one.

Or is it just like buses on a rainy day you wait for ages for one and then...

The extended London ULEZ maybe.
Are the V8s compliant?

From what I've been reading lately probably impending fuel price hikes! Ursula's lot are announcing even more draconian EU emission standards & regulations on the 14th July which is tied in with Paris accord agreements. https://www.euractiv.com/section/tra...ustion-engine/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/ene...e-for-big-oil/

The red one starting at £4500 sadly needs a lot of paint/lacquer work

It could just be a sign of the economy, do people have spare cash for these nice toys?

I am trying to sell a Motorbike that 18 months ago would have sold in a flash. I have only had a couple of people interested and both wanted it for 2/3rds of its value.
