The Appeal
The MGB's consistent appeal raised the eyebrows of the chaps at Rover HQ, and as modern roadsters began arriving on the market for the 1990s, they decided to have another go at a heritage-style open-top sports car. The styling was still recognisably MG, the trim was loaded with old-money character and - crucially - under the bonnet, the now-iconic Rover V8.
The new car was offered in limited numbers, and the majority went to the likes of Japan, where Cool Britannia was at its peak.
This particular example comes to us in a heritage-savvy livery of Woodcote green with a cream leather cabin. Having spent time in Japan, the UK, and Spain, this RV8 has been maintained to a good standard throughout its life - and, of course, comes with the extremely rare Krafthaus hard top.
