This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at Silverstone Festival 2025 on Sunday the 24th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. , In reincarnating the MG B, the 'rubber bumper'-specification body was utilised and modified to accept a new set of beautifully curvaceous outer panels,The 3.9-litre Range Rover EFi V8 engine developed 188bhp, enough power to enable 0-60mph in just under six seconds which even now is pretty impressive,Of the 1983 cars built in total, just 311 were supplied to the UK-market and this example is finished in British Racing Green Metallic paintwork with a Stone Beige leather interior and currently displays just 42,023 miles,On offer from a deceased estate so the history is limited. The V5C states seven previous registered owners,The car was sold by Beaulieu Garage in 2014 and there is a printed sheet from them stating that the car is powered by a 5-litre TVR unit and benefits from Poly-bushed suspension, upgraded shocks and electric steering, none of which our vendors are able to confirm,To our eyes it appears to be fitted with the normal 3.9-litre V8 but it has been fitted with a Torque Flow TF500 induction kit, standard equipment on a Griffith 500,The MG presents well generally and is described as running and driving although would benefit from a light recommissioning ,Sensibly guided even for a standard RV8, interested parties would need to establish for themselves the car's state of tune etc.,
