B&G has launched its dedicated RV8 spares section on its website
Louise Jarvis at Brown & Gammons at Baldock reports the dedicated RV8 spares section of their website has gone live as part of their spares service for RV8 enthusiasts. It's well worth a visit to get familiar with how the "context sensitive" diagrams work. Prices correct as at 17.5.05.


Homepage of the B&G website - you select the red "MGRV8" button in the lefthand column whereupon the blue column of buttons pops up. There you can select topics like "Engine".

Availability of interesting RV8 parts
I checked the availability of a few interesting parts for RV8 enthusiasts - windscreen surrounds and bodyshells!

RV8 windscreen surrounds

The result for windscreen surrounds is above but this is due to change in the next day or so as the new windscreen surrounds which B&G have re-sourced with the refurbished tooling are being delivered. Those new OE units, (part number ZKC5324) have improved rust resistance and will be available at £1,116.25 including VAT.

RV8 bodyshell

The result - shell assembly less doors, wings, bonnet and boot lid @ £5,581.25 including VAT.

Context sensitive diagrams are particularly useful - you simply click the part you want and then the table of parts pops up with the item listed with its availability and price.


Search box enables you to search for parts - in this case "clutch master cylinder" produces the list of parts below.

Clutch master cylinder

The result - RV8 clutch master cylinder @ £94.00 including VAT. You will also see the RV8 brake master cylinder @ £141.00 including VAT is listed a little further down the list.
