Manufactured between 1992 and 1995, the RV8 was essentially an updated take on the MGB, which first went on sale in 1963. On paper, its combination of classic 60s roadster styling with a powerful 3.9L V8 engine was very appealing – but with a hefty £26,500 price tag it couldn’t compete with modern, more aerodynamic sports cars, and only 1,982 RV8s were ever sold (1,500 of them in Japan.) And of those – as enthusiasts’ website mgrv8.com confirms – a mere 16 came with the Flame Red finish.
