This 49,000 mile Woodcote Green MG RV8 was manufactured on the 1st of May 1995. Arriving with a very comprehensive history file, this MG has been meticulously maintained, throughout its low mileage life. The car has been treated to an electric power steering kit, supplied by EZ and fitted by an MG specialist. The MG has had a new steering rack, refurbished rear axle, new windscreen and frame, and a lot of routine servicing. It comes with the original owner's handbook, and the original marketing brochure which details the quality of the RV8. The MG RV8 was a revival for the iconic British car brand. ‘The Marque has returned' was the slogan when the car made its debut at the British International Motor Show in 1992. There were only ever 2000 MG RV8s manufactured, and the car was so well received by the Japanese market 75% of RV8s were exported there. The British Motor Heritage body shell of the MGB, new front and rear wings, and a 3.9L V8, was the winning formula for the MG RV8 – the last truly British MG sportscar. It boasts 190PS and 320Nm of torque propelling you to 60mph in a mere 5.9 seconds. To drive the MG shows characteristics of both Jekyll and Hyde. You can cruise at 70mph at 2500 revs in your luxurious leather seats, air con on and radio playing, or you can mute the radio, drop a gear and hear a V8 roaring in front of you. This well looked after, low mileage example will be perfect to enjoy some long-distance touring, and some spirited driving, the best of both worlds.
