1994 MG RV8 | Shevington, Greater Manchester

The MG RV8 is a hand-built British roadster from the early 1990s, shaped like an MGB but with broad, flared wheelarches and a fuel-injected 3.9-litre Rover V8 under the bonnet. It is liked for its wood-and-leather cabin and a V8 note unlike the four-cylinder roadsters of its day. This 1994 car is deep green over cream leather, with hand-finished wood trim. The pairing looks rich on camera, and with the roof down both occupants stay in view. The 3900cc engine gives a low V8 burble, and the car is in excellent condition. Film and TV work set in the 1990s gets a period British sports car with a V8 voice. Fashion, editorial and photography shoots get a colour scheme that frames well, and events get an open-top arrival. Couples marrying or marking a special day will find it fitting. The car is based in Manchester.
