BV8 Roadster conversions are similar to Trad Morgans in many ways. By that I mean built to the owners spec.So on paper they are all BV8 conversions, but in reality they are chalk and cheese. When looking it's a matter of matching what you want with what's available, because there's a massive difference in engine specs, gearboxes, rear axles, and suspensions, before you even get to colour and interior specs.
I must admit that the Rv8 still looks great value, for a factory specced production car and some remain in more or less original condition. Ok they have rot in the screen frame and no doubt by now some traditional MGB rot underneath, but safer in many ways than a Joe Bloggs assembly kit, because many people think they get it but don't.
Problem with the Rv8 is seat height, which if unmodified has you sitting on rather than in the car, much like early Cxs.
