Unique MGB GT RV8 uncovered Welcome news of this stunning MGV8 arrived this week. It looks a very professional job which is a halfway house between the MGBGTV8 and the RV8GT that never was - except later as conversions by enthusiasts. Posted: 210129 A stunning MGV8 has been uncovered - it was specially commissioned in the 1990s by the then managing director of British Motor Heritage (BMH). It was built on a brand-new Heritage MGB GT rubber bumper bodyshell with RV8 front and rear bumpers. The rest of the car - engine, gearbox, running gear and interior -- is predominantly RV8. The car has had two previous owners since it was built and has been used sparingly, covering only 7,800 miles. It looks a very professional job which is a halfway house between the MGBGTV8 and the RV8GT that never was - except later as conversions by enthusiasts. See our feature article on this discovery.
