Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
SOLD Twelve years after the last MG sports car had rolled off the Abingdon production lines, Austin-Rover made the decision to revive one of the most admired British marques by introducing an entirely new model - the MG RV8.
Based on MG’s most successful sports car, the MGB, the new model was suitably re-engineered for the 1990s and was announced at the 1992 Motor Show with its launch timed to coincide with the MGB’s 30th anniversary. The RV8, at first glance, resembled its predecessor but was wider, lower and much sleeker featuring its fully integrated body coloured bumpers. Beneath the bonnets power bulge there was the latest 3.9 litre version of the Rover V8 engine mated to a five speed manual gearbox. Power was an impressive 188BHP and a top speed of 135mph was claimed.
The RV8 was the most powerful MG ever at the time of its launch and priced at £26,500. Only 1,983 MG RV8s were built in total making this a definite classic. Around 75% of these were exported to Japan, only right hand drive versions were produced.
According to the British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate present within the cars history file, this particular RV8 was built in December 1994 and exported immediately to Japan. Finished in delightful Woodcote Green metallic with Dark Stone leather the car covered just 9,360 miles prior to being re patronised in the UK in 2003 - the total mileage now being just 27,360. Since its return to the UK this immaculate car has been lavished with care and attention with service and repair invoices within the huge history file adding up to in excess of £23,500 on top of the price of the car!
Sitting proudly on its 17” Compomotive alloy wheels, the car needs to be seen to believe just how lovely it is. The Woodcote Green coachwork gleams in the sunlight and there are no signs of rust anywhere. The black soft top is in perfect condition with a crystal clear rear window. Inside the car is just as impressive with the Stone Leather with green piping complimenting the carpets and wood which also are all immaculate. Underneath the car, again, there is no corrosion just evidence of being regularly wax treated, there are no nasty oil leaks from the engine or transmission.
On the road the car feels quick through the gears with everything feeling good through the transmission, steering and brakes.
Accompanying the car is the aforementioned highly documented history file and invoices along with all MOT certificates from 2003. There are also MG factory workshop and parts manuals in both paper and CD form, the driver’s manuals and service books in their original leather wallet along with the spare keys. In the boot of the car, quite unusually, is the original unused full tool roll with working torch. There are also two wind deflectors and tonneau covers for summer use.
To summarise, this car is in immaculate condition with subtle improvements. There is no rust or cosmetic imperfections. The engine is very sound and smooth, and it has covered a very low mileage with extensive service history to date. Ready to show or enjoy, this rare vehicle is available for immediate purchase at a realistic price.

The RV8 is the most beautiful MG ever....
Rover did the MG marque proud when they built these 😊😊😊
....ich bin sehr glücklich auch einen RV8 zu haben. Ein gut motorisierter Freund.!
.... and I am very lucky to keep one.!!
Wow, beautiful car. First I've seen an MG R V8. I'm sure it's a lot of fun to drive!
Absolutely stunning, love the color.
What a gorgeous car
Wow. Never saw one of these. So much nicer than the originals. But....
It,s very beautiful car !!
Looks a lot like the last version of the Ford Thunderbird to me... especially from the rear. I liked the original mgb’s from the early 70’s especially the mgb/gt (I had one back in the day)...
Beautiful car, but that's a back window, not rear glass.
God I had a turbo technics ford orion same year
Mamma Mia

Only 92 out of 1982 cars made were LHD. Those were sold on the European continent. 1583 went to Japan & 307 stayed in the UK. The car was a complete sales flop until they went on offer in Japan. They came away from the Japanese auto show with 1400 firm orders. It's a shame they were never on offer in the USA. It would have passed emissions but failed the crash test horribly. Only now with the 25-year rule can we begin to buy them. (At 25-years old non-complying cars are allowed in.)
How big is the V-8?

Who built it. The last MGB was made in 1982. Is this a replica ?? How come it is a roadster with a V8 when MG refused to put V8s in roadsters because of the toque effect on the chassis.

@Fred Smith We have an original 1976 MGB V8. Never had head gasket issues, but cooling is an issue. Improved a lot by fitting a radtec race radiator made in Cannock. Also did things like make some new brackets to lift the number place in front of the bumper, instead of it hanging low blocking the air intake. (Added a mashgrill to stop the stones hitting the oil cooler BTW) We haven't but if your ever gonna have a full respray, spend the money and get a louvered bonnet too. Worth it.

It's not an MGB or an MGB replica. It was built by MG Rover or whatever they called themselves in the 1990s.
Yes..very nice..but why are u advertising cars that have already sold??..u do it in the magazines also, half or more of your stock is sold..always..makes no sense.

Thank you for your comments, we leave the videos of our Sold vehicles on KZread becasue people enjoy viewing them for pleasure and interest. In addition they can be used as a reference for people who are looking to buy a certain model for things they should be looking for etc and so they can see what we could source for them and hopefully contact us to help them. In the magazines, we often have to book the advertising quite a while in advance and so things change before we come to print. Also, once again it shows potential customers the cars we stock and then they can approach us to source one similar for them. Also people who have a car to sell often look to see what price/standard they should be looking for in the market and our videos/adverts can be useful to them or they approach us which is great as we are always looking out for stock. Hope that helps to answer your question.
