Interesting, I wonder who built it, was it a one off from MG, I thought all the RV8's were roadsters.

It was featured in one of the MG mags a few months ago.

MG never made an RV8 GT, although that conversion isn't the first by any stretch.

As much as I'm a massive MG fan, the RV8 has never really appealed to me; great in a straight line but just not that great around corners. I know this puts me in the minority amongst MG people but oh well.

Went round Goodwood with a MG/Rover driver, who put a MGR V8 through its paces.

When I said I had a MGB he was pleased and got the thing sideways, most of the demos he just went round without pushing it.

Bet they are fun in the wet.
