About this car

The MG RV8 was a limited-run reworking of the MGB roadster, powered by a Rover V8 and built in small numbers in the 1990s, with a large share of production going to Japan. This example is stated to be chassis number 026, an early pre-production car, which adds to its appeal for collectors.

It has a 5-speed manual gearbox and keeps a deliberately old-school feel, with wind-up windows and no power steering. Inside it has leather seats, and the black hood and hood bag are described as in good condition.

The car shows 34,410 miles and has recently been serviced and given an MOT. It is dated 1993 on the page.
