Description
On today's menu, a machine for sensations AND emotions: elegance, sportiness and old-fashioned charm in this Morgan Plus 8 with its unique configuration and explosive, torquey V8! Morgan, a British family business specialising in hand-built cars since 1910, offers us a pure vision of the sports car, with a line that has survived the decades without a wrinkle. Launched in October 1968, the Morgan Plus 8 marked a major milestone in the history of the brand. It stands out as Morgan's first real revolution in decades. Its name refers to its engine: a V8 which, for the 1994 evolution, was borrowed from Rover, offering almost 200hp with a displacement of 3. 9 litres. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The model we are offering is a 1995 Morgan Plus 8 with 71, 500 km. This car is absolutely unique, with a delightful vintage racing configuration. It is also in very good condition, having undergone a major service in 2022 and coming out of service for sale. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HISTORY & CONFIGURATION This Morgan Plus 8 was delivered new in Belgium in June 1995. It was imported into France in 2015 and has had 2 owners since. Its first French owner, located in the Lyon region, kept it until 2022.
