The RV8 is how the venerable B would have evolved had it remained in production.
If not exactly modernised, the resuscitated B has been extensively updated and face lifted - a classic without the old-car hardships. Based on the B's original bodyshell, made by British Motor Heritage, the RV8 has been reskinned with new sills, bumpers, headlights, tail and 'Coke-bottle' wings. Without totally losing the original's identity, the car has put on a lot of style and muscle.
Where there was once a modest four-cylinder engine there is now a powerful 3. 9-litre V8, sourced from Land Rover. Other significant changes include updated suspension, new brakes, a five-speed manual gearbox and well-shod alloy wheels.
Prices continue to rise, making this a smart, enjoyable, and appreciating classic.
Will be sold WOF'd and Registered.

PLEASE READ: The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak.
