The Appeal
The MG RV8 marked the return of the MG sports car after more than a decade's absence. Pairing the classic MGB silhouette with Rover's 3.9-litre V8 and a five-speed manual gearbox, it was familiar to any MG enthusiast, but it was no nostalgic cash grab. It was a new generation proper; a logical development from the marque's golden age. With production limited to around 2,000 examples, the RV8 has become an increasingly sought-after modern classic.
This 1994 example has been dry garaged and sparingly used in recent years. Originally a UK-registered car, it spent a period in Sweden from around 2010 before being reimported by the current owner in 2020, with NOVA certification in hand. A significant history file accompanies the car, along with full- and half-tonneau covers and a private registration plate.31---MG-RV8----HIGH-RES.jpg425.5 KB

VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. ✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. ✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. ✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection or delivery.
