News
of a new MGRV8GT built using an original RV8 shell
has come from Ross Boyd in Australia who says "I
wanted to keep the RV8 as a complete car using all
the new body work and parts. Yes many people will
say why ruin a good RV8, well mine was from Japan
and in pretty poor condition. So the whole car has
been stripped and rebuilt, including a change of
colour to the internal leather and new timber veneers.
The sunroof is from a Calibra and was a perfect
fit to the side rails of the RV8GT. The rear guards
are also unique as I wished to keep the curve of
the RV8. Every other RV8GT I've seen has kept the
top of the guards as standard. I've had special
side window made and urethaned them in, more like
a modern car. The front doors are fully framed and
special quarter vent windows are also urethaned
in." The completed car looks very good and
has the timeless GT lines. |
