How many MGV8s in the UK? Ken Clayton spotted an online item highlighting some "Now Many Left" data for the MGRV8 model. From a little research some interesting information was found. The website was developed and is run by Olly Smith, a car geek who works on this site in his spare time. Links to MGBGTV8 & MGRV8 webpages are: MGBGTV8 data. Link MGRV8 data. Link How accurate is the data? Link Posted: 251215 MGBGTV8 - total number licensed/taxed or on a SORN in the UK in Q2 2025 was 1,003. The pattern of licensed/taxed MGBGTV8s is relatively steady with a slow fall in cars on a SORN. As MGBGTV8s (over 40 years from their built date) are eligible for the VED exemption, very nearly all cars will have been registered as Historic vehicles but still have to make an annual VED renewal at the NIL VED rate. Looking at the number of cars on a SORN the slight rise is probably from a combination of some restorations being recorded as on a SORN again, less a small reduction from cars in a very poor condition that have been scrapped. MGBGTV8s licensed/taxed or on a SORN The number of licensed/taxed MGBGTV8s of 1,003 above in 2025 Q2 is 31% of the total Factory production of 2,591. It's not clear whether MGBGTV8 Conversions will be included in the stats above. The V8 Database records many MGBGTV8s registered overseas. See an earlier report. Link MGRV8 - total number licensed/taxed or on a SORN in the UK in Q2 2025 was 617. The pattern of the combined total of MGRV8s licensed/taxed and those on a SORN has remained steady, but because the MGRV8 has yet to reach eligibility for the annual VED exemption concession owners have to to pay VED/road tax if they wish to use the car on public roads in the UK during the "Summer" months. So we can see there are spikes each year in those months in Q3 & Q4. With far less use of the cars during the "Winter" months we can see significant increases in cars recorded as on a SORN in Q1 & Q4. MGRV8s licensed/taxed or on a SORN The number of licensed/taxed MGRV8s of 619 above in 2025 Q2 is around 31% of the total Factory production of 2,000. The V8 Database records many MGRV8s registered overseas, particularly in Australia and New Zealand and a significant number are still in Japan. See an earlier report. Link
