Audit Card and Certificate
The British Motor Heritage (BMH) body plant
at Witney holds the RV8 body build records as it built the RV8 bodies at its former
manufacturing plant at Faringdon for the Factory production of the RV8 model at
Cowley. The information is based only on the body number which you can find on
the slam panel and not on the VIN number. BMH Witney offers this as a free service
for RV8 owners and produces the documents in occasional batches, so if you request
a document do be prepared for some delay. Contact Martin Davies at BMH Witney
on 01993 707200 and email. More
