The Morgan Plus 8 debuted in 1968, combining the company's traditional ash-framed chassis with the potent and lightweight Rover 3.5-liter V8. This simple formula created a British icon with a massive power-to-weight advantage and a production run that lasted until 2004, with a brief revival from 2012 to 2018. It's a quintessential British roadster that offers a raw, unfiltered driving experience.
Collectors are drawn to the Plus 8's blend of vintage aesthetics and V8 performance. The car's character evolved over time, with engine displacement growing to 3.9, 4.0, and 4.6 liters, offering more power and torque. It's a hand-built machine that delivers a direct connection between the driver, the car, and the road, complete with a fantastic V8 soundtrack.
Buying Tips
- Check the ash wood frame for rot, especially around the door posts, scuttle, and rear wheel arches. Poke suspected soft spots carefully.
- The steel chassis is prone to rust at the outriggers and crossmembers. A thorough underbody inspection is critical.
- The Rover V8 is stout but can suffer from head gasket failure and camshaft wear. Check for signs of overheating and listen for valvetrain noise.
- Morgan's unique sliding pillar front suspension requires regular greasing. Neglect leads to rapid wear of the kingpins and bushes, resulting in poor handling.
