Jeremy,

The conversion from rubber bumper B to RV8 is in the August 1994 issue of 
MG Enthusiast.

The donor car was a body shop courtesy car and was used to demonstrate 
the specialist skills of the firm at a car show, so it was a one-off. 
They used a grey leather kit from Moss and a custom rosewood dash which 
extended halfway across the dash unlike the RV8. The windscreen and 
window surrounds were painted in a graphite color aswell as the wiper 
assembly. To avoid being called an RV8 clone, they used a 1950cc stage 2 
engine with twin SU's. Lowered a bit with RV8 rims and looks fantastic 
besides the Citron yellow they painted it, however they did that to bring 
attention to the car.

Cheers,
Steve
