sale - RV8 race/road car
Flame Red 0326 is the "Works" car raced by Team
Cowley MG. The car was shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show with
the bodywork originally finished in Woodcote Green. The car
returned to Cowley after the show and was kept in the Showbay.
In 1996 the car was stripped to its component parts and built
into a new and unique bodyshell on the British Motor Heritage
stand at the 1996 Essen Techno Classica Motor Show. The build
featured unique black and red trim, three piece Minilite wheels,
a white hardtop etc. At the end of the show the car was presented
to the Cowley Plant Director for use by TCMG. It was then raced,
with many successes, |
between
1996 and 2000 in the MG Car Club's BCV8 Championship and the
Phoenix Challenge. The car is road legal, with new catalysts,
tax and MOT. All the parts needed to return to race spec are
included, plus most of Essen trim, Minilites etc along with
a spare painted bodykit, new hood, decals, photos etc. Realistically
priced at £14,950.
