Description
The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again, in revised form, between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design. The production Plus 8 was launched in 1968 using Rover's production engine, a re-engineered version of the Buick 215 motor.
This 35th Anniversary Plus 8 Morgan is the last V8 imported into the US. Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. This striking Plus 8 has had just two owners since new and has exceptionally low mileage. The sleek lines are highlighted by the installation of the Lemans bumperette kit front and rear. A traditional leather bonnet strap has been added along with a center badge bar. A rear stainless steel luggage carrier and Morgan logo spare wheel cover adorns the boot area. The car also has matching tan mohair convertible top, boot cover, tonneau cover, and side curtains. A owners manual, factory photo build record, and service receipts are included with the sale. This Plus 8 is a thrill to drive with plenty of power, super road holding characteristics, and has extreme reliability.
