A variety of original MG V8s, built in Abingdon, and more modern MG RV8s, built at Cowley were displayed on Abingdon Market Place today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the car’s launch.

The MG V8 was produced by MG from 1973 to 1976 and was based on the MGB, but strengthened to hold the larger V8 engine. Only 2,591 MG V8s were produced, making it a rare and collectable car.
