MG RV8 introduced in 1992, so they hit the 25-year mark in 2017
MGF introduced in 1995, so it hits the 25-year mark in 2020

I presume that the prices for both have fallen since Australia tightened up
their restrictions on classic imports.

Here is detail on how to get the car into the USA legally. Getting it legally
registered for road use in your own state is another problem -- easier in
some
than others:
