Rubber bumper V8s are bouncing back after 50 years!

Friday 28th to Sunday 30th June 2024

John Davies has volunteered to plan and arrange a display of pre-production and other notable rubber bumper MGBGTV8s at an event to celebrate the launch of the RB model in 1974. The main event will be at the Inter-Club International event at Malvern in June 2024. Getting many RB MGBGTV8s together will be a welcome recognition of the RB model.
