The RV8 is how the venerable B would have evolved had it remained in production.
If not exactly modernised, the resuscitated B has been extensively updated and face lifted - a classic without the old-car hardships. Based on the B's original bodyshell, made by British Motor Heritage, the RV8 has been reskinned with new sills, bumpers, headlights, tail and 'Coke-bottle' wings. Without totally losing the original's identity, the car has put on a lot of style and muscle.
Where there was once a modest four-cylinder engine there is now a powerful 3.9-litre V8, sourced from Land Rover. Other significant changes include updated suspension, new brakes, a five-speed manual gearbox and well-shod alloy wheels.
Prices continue to rise, making this a smart, enjoyable, and appreciating classic.
Will be sold WOF'd and Registered.
