Description
This Morgan Plus 8 is one of the most characterful models in Morgan’s history. This 35th Anniversary model from 2004, finished in Jaguar Racing Green Metallic, is a remarkable example from the final series of Plus 8 models featuring the classic 3.9/4.0-litre Rover V8.
Under the long bonnet lies the 3,946 cc V8 producing 191 pk, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Combined with a kg weight of 900 and rear-wheel drive, this delivers precisely the pure, direct driving experience for which the classic Plus 8 is renowned.
The 35th Anniversary edition stands out with features including stainless steel wire-spoke wheels, stainless steel overriders, sports seats, a leather interior, a tonneau cover, a mesh grille and a walnut dashboard. This particular car is also fitted with various original Morgan extras, including Suplex front suspension, adjustable shock absorbers, additional spotlights, a stainless steel luggage rack with luggage straps and heated seats.
The interior has also received a special upgrade with a walnut dashboard by Kauffelt and a matching Moto-Lita steering wheel, which further emphasises its classic character.
With 51,250 kilometres on the clock, full service history and its unique Anniversary specification, this is a Plus 8 for the enthusiast who is not just looking for a classic Morgan, but for a model with a distinctive story.
