            bumper V8s are bouncing back after 50 years! 
 Friday 
            28th to Sunday 30th June 2024
 
 John Davies has volunteered 
            to plan and arrange a display of pre-production and other notable 
            rubber bumper MGBGTV8s at an event to celebrate the launch of the 
            RB model in 1974. The 
            main event will be at the Inter-Club International event at Malvern 
            in June 2024. Getting many RB MGBGTV8s together will be a welcome 
            recognition of the RB model.
