Just 1982 examples of the RV8 were produced of which 1,583 were exported to Japan although many of these have now returned to the UK due their scarcity and popularity. With a huge power increase from the Rover sourced V8, a wider track and improved suspension, the car goes as well as it looks and the interior is a massive improvement over that of a standard MGB. In all, a most entertaining proposition.

This car returned from Japan in 2003 and has been cossetted since with the current owner, a long standing customer of our, having invested further in the car upgrading to EZ power steering, Spax adjustable dampers, Tornado ECU chip and tuning by renowned Rover V8 specialists RPI engineering.

There is extensive UK history together with Japanese documentation, handbook and spare keys.

Unusually fitted with an extremely rare hard top, the car is practical enough to use regularly.

In lovely condition throughout, don't miss this one!

Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.

 We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
