| V8 display in the Club's Main Marquee at MGLive! 2015 | |
 | The
V8 Register stand in the Club's Main Marquee at MGLive! 2015 featured Nic Houslip's
RV8 in front of a large photo of the car on the circuit at an MGOT track day at
Castle Combe earlier this year. The car was previously owned by the late Bill
Wallis, a V8 enthusiast and former President of the Club. Bill was pleased his
RV8 had gone to Nic as he knew the car would enjoy an active life! The initial
owner was Phillips and when Nic bought the car he found they had installed a number
of sound system items which he then removed, particularly from the door panels. The RV8 is in a popular colour, Nightfire Red, and is an early production car with the VIN 0263, so close to the first production RV8 at 0251. The V8 Register has invested in a curved display system called MagLoc which has a series of flexible sections of the graphic display as panels which attach to a folding aluminium framework by magnets. The system can be dismantled in around 5 minutes and packs away in a wheeled carry case which is referred to as the "wheelie bin". As you can see the supplier also provides a wrap around graphic which converts the bin into a counter for handouts and display materials for members manning the stand. Photo: Nic Houslip |
