MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - RV8 Fibreglass Body Panels

Guys....Just got a wild hair up my ***...DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A SET OF RV8 FIBREGLASS BODY PANELS for shipment from UK to the US...know there are companies in UK making all 4 wings, bonnet, both bumpers, nose piece, both sill extensions, both skirts....Wouldn't it be wild to build my MGB V8 conversion as an RV8 replica, especially on this side of the water where no RV8 has ever gone..

Tony,
There's a guy who's supposed to have a whole RV8 kit that he sells. He's in Oregon. Though when I tried to contact him about it, he never got back to me. But you can give him a try.

yeah, i've also heard of him but he never returns calls...believe he's trying to get someone to buy a kit before he orders it from UK...if he's on this & reads, please contact me...i'm getting more pumped up every minute...you'll know i'm serious when i put my MGC hood up for sale!!!
Anthony Barnhill

finally talked w/Bob Yarwood..he doesn't have them anymore but he used to sell them for around $4200 (old price, not sure what new price would be)!!! almost 3 times as much as they are in UK & that didn't include shipping!!!! Its worth a plane fare to UK to buy & ship myself...
Anthony Barnhill

Anthony, How much do you want for that MGC hood

They have been making full grp RV8 body kits for several years and the quality is quite good from what I have seen on several cars over the years.
