The MG RV8 was a hugely important step in the 1990s rebirth of its maker after more than a decade of saloon and hatchback-only production. Since Abingdon’s closure in 1980, MG had been reserved for the Metro, Maestro and Montego – and although these cars were worthy, what enthusiasts really wanted was a new MG roadster. In creating the RV8, Rover very cleverly used a combination of off-the-shelf parts, such as the Range Rover’s V8 engine and British Motor Heritage MGB bodyshell.
