Okay, okay, we know this isn’t everyone’s favourite car and that people who think Jeremy Clarkson is some kind of God will probably suggest dropping a piano on it, but how about showing some love for this old Marina Estate?

A supercharged 5.4-litre V8 producing 582bhp. And an original owner who happens to be a Formula One World Champion. […]
There’s something about the MG RV8 that we’ve always liked. Perhaps it’s the familiar MGB-inspired styling. Perhaps it’s the combination of traditional British roadster character and a wonderfully uncomplicated Rover V8. Or perhaps it’s simply that the RV8 represents a particularly interesting chapter in MG’s history. But when this 1993 ...
