The Morgan Plus 8 began production in 1968 and continued all the way through until 2004. The iconic Plus 8 returned in 2012 for a further six years, ending production again in 2018. Its iconic design remained largely unchanged throughout its life, lightweight construction, and powerful V8 engine. The Plus 8 is built on a steel chassis with a handcrafted aluminium body and Morgan’s famous ash wooden frame. The Plus 8 is powered by the tried and tested 3.5 litre Rover V8 engine, which provides exhilarating acceleration, aided further by the immensely low weight of around 830kg. It also features a five-speed manual transmission.

First registered 12th February 1986 this Plus 8 finished in black with matching black trim boasts just three former keepers. This 3,5 litre V8 has an MoT until the 31st October 2025. This is a good example of the mighty V8 powered Morgan, which represents great value for money when compared with its rivals of the day. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
