This striking 1996 MG RV8, finished in eye-catching Woodcote Green, was originally exported to Japan before being reimported to the UK in 2002. Registered on 24 June 2002, it has had four previous owners, with the last owner taking ownership in August 2015. It’s been meticulously maintained, boasting 'good' condition bodywork and paint that still holds its metallic shine. Notable updates include a replacement mohair soft top and refreshed interior veneers.

The history file includes the original owner's handbook, an MG RV8 repair manual, invoices for parts and servicing, previous MOT certificates, two sets of keys, and three immobiliser remote fobs.

The car comes with a set of Minilite alloy wheels (with the originals also included), and in 2009, the windscreen surround was upgraded to carbon fibre. There is only one minor cosmetic flaw—a small dent below the boot lid, which also features a classic luggage rack. Inside, the air conditioning unit was removed to improve legroom but will be provided with the sale. A battery isolator and wired connector for a CTEK trickle charger are also installed.

Mechanically, the 3.9-litre Rover V8 is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Recent maintenance includes a new nearside engine mount, an oil and filter change in May 2023, a water pump, coolant, and brake pressure relief valve replacement in 2019, and the fitting of new suspension bushes in 2015. Additionally, it boasts a stainless steel exhaust and power steering. 

This beloved vehicle has been enjoyed on long-distance tours across Europe and Scotland, making it an ideal companion for day trips and weekend getaways.
