Am I right in thinking that this freehub body will take an 8 speed exa drive cassette?

Nope, unfortunately it won't take ED8spd cassettes. But, re-spacing a 9spd one is reasonable .
Two ways go :
either buy a 9spd miche cassette and 8spd black miche spacers to get the desired 5.00mm
Or buy an 9spd veloce cassette, and get one of your mates to manufacture 6 spacers in the thickness of 3.25mm, one 0.45mm (goes for the smallest cog which has a built-in spacer) and one 1.2mm spacer to drop behind the largest cog (to be able to tighten the lockring sufficiently. the cassette will wobble without the extra support)Lovely wheelset. Absolutely gorgeus rims with their box profile and silverish finish.
Good luck selling these ;)

SOLD, thanks for the interest!
hello all!
selling this wheelset to fund other projects
9sp chorus hubs ('97) to mavic sup reflex rims in lovely condition. spokes are sapim at the front and alpine at the rear. hubs spin really smooth (will repack just in case before sale, can include photo evidence). the wheelset has had so little use that the machining is still visible on both rims (front has a bit more wear obviously). stickers are starting to peel off in typical mavic fashion.
these are a lot nicer than some of the wheels listed as mint on ebay.. could be nice for a retro project but the freehub will take the modern casettes too. comes with lockring, rim tape (michelin, has a few craks which have been covered with electrical tape) but unfortunately no skewers.
please note that these were laced properly using oil on threads and eyelets/beds.
i'd like £165 posted. please tell me if it's steep - i based the price on another chorus 8sp wheelset that costs more.. which i thought was a bit much.
