Description

1996 Morgan plus 8, many unique features that would not be found on any other Morgan.

Finished in Royal Ivory with Mulberry red leather trim.
Comprehensive service history and very well maintained.

I have owned Morgan’s in the past and have been frustrated that with the hood down the side screens won’t store away behind the seats, shortly after purchase i remade the rear bulkhead to make enough room to accommodate them. This modification has been carried out without any alteration to the ash frame, a new piece of matching Axminster carpet with leather bound edges finished of the modification perfectly.
The hood and tonneau cover now lay nice and flat with plenty of clearance room with the seats fully back.

I have made and fitted a steel sump guard as these cars sit quite low.

I have made and fitted a steel toolbox to accommodate the jack and it’s handle the warning triangle and the wheel nut hammer. This tucks away nicely behind the spare wheel.

I have made Perspex wind deflector’s for both left and right sides, they clip in place of the side screens with storage bags for them when not in use they also store behind the seats.

I have made and fitted a lower front valance in Aluminium it is painted in body colour it hides and protects the lower part of the radiator which is visible.

I have made and fitted a third high level brake light in stainless steel, this can open up concertina style to raise it up when luggage is carried on the rear luggage rack.

These items can be noticed on the pictures on this advert.

I purchased this car from a well known and regarded Morgan specialist agent on 16-9-2022 with the mileage 50950, due to health issues and winter weather I have only driven it for 182 miles (this includes taking it to the local garage for a mot test on 8-10-2023) I am now 76 years of age and find driving my Range Rover more refined and comfortable, hence the sale of the Morgan.

I am open to reasonable offers but only after viewing and test driving which when driven you will be able to appreciate just how good a example this car is.

Please note that the registration number will be retained upon sale, I have the original set of plates which it will probably go back onto.

I have advertised this car on behalf of a very good friend, the car is located a short distance away from me and I can put any prospective buyers in direct contact with the owner.
