Take an MGB roadster, thoroughly modernise it, then fit the evergreen Rover V8 and what do you get? Well, for a start, it’s the MGB V8 that enthusiasts always dreamed of, but the RV8 is much more than that. From the moment the car was revealed in the early 1990s, comparison with the TVR Chimaera was inevitable because they were roughly the same price and both cars were also old-school hairychested roadsters, powered by the same venerable Rover V8 power unit. The Blackpool-blaster was also more aggressive in looks and nature, with the MG a more classiclooking alternative. Today, for the same money as a top-notch MGB, the RV8 makes a splendid and sensible substitute to both the TVR and arguably a Big Healey, too.
