Knowles in a V8BB thread he launched in December 2012. From a search it was also
found for sale on eBay - with bidding closing on 17th January 2013.
Godrey
Dennis posted a note on the V8 Bulletin Board thread saying "this modified
RV8 is now on Piston Heads website for an asking price of £29,500.
It looks to have been heavily modified, judging by the photos, but £29,500?"
It's not clear whether the car was sold or simply withdrawn.

Featured on Piston Heads website. "An unofficial
conversion based on an old BGT, that combine the RV8’s updated looks and
power with the classic coupe styling of the BGT. However this one is a little
different; rather than starting out as a GT, it in fact started life as a genuine
RV8, and had the roof of a GT grafted on. Which makes it a bit special, in that
it carries a genuine RV8 registration. It delivers on that promise too, with a
significantly breathed-on V8 that kicks out a claimed 254hp and a thumping 270lb
ft torque. We're not quite so keen on the... erm... let’s call it ‘extrovert’
interior, though".
The article concludes saying "this is a rare
beast, and sounds like bloomin’ brilliant fun, in a slightly scary, 'lots
of power with old leaf springs and drum brakes' way. And while it’s a touch
pricey for an RV8, quite frankly, we just don’t care. After all, where else
are you going to find anything like it? £24,995. More | July

Autotrader advert online says "this is
one of one. Now to the purist this may or may not be for you but if you like your
cars individual then this is a strong contender. It's a Marmite MG and if it's
not to your taste I totally understand but you still have to admire the effort
that's been put in to this MG. It started life as a RV8 and lovingly had a metal
roof conversion at the same time as the awesome wide body which is all steel.
On the V5 it states that the car is a coupe GT RV8. Power 250 bhp and torque 270
ib/ft. Engine works carried out by Grace Engine Developments. Gas-flow heads.
Heavy duty valve springs. Kent H214K fast road cam. AT power throttle bodies and
more. Body work carried out by Berkshire Body Shop. (Alfa Romeo Colour) Titanio
Opaco matt Grey. Spax adjustables, Hand made S/Steel exhaust which sounds fantastic,
Rear wheels 11"x16" Front wheels 10"x16". Its has a interesting
interior with red dash and black leather with red pipping, again Marmite but does
work well as this car is shouting from the roof tops with its aggressive stance,
loud exhaust note and red interior which works well as soon as you lift the bonnet".
