2001 Morgan Plus 8
Raw power. Pure engagement. Unfiltered driving pleasure.
This 2001 Morgan Plus 8 is the kind of car that doesn’t just take you from A to B — it makes you want to go. Powered by its characterful V8 and paired with a manual gearbox, the Plus 8 delivers performance you feel immediately, whether threading along a favourite B-road or stretching its legs on a longer run.
Finished in dark blue with a tan interior, the car presents exactly as a Plus 8 should — purposeful yet understated. It is well equipped with full wet weather gear, full-width front and rear bumpers, and a luggage grid, making it equally suited to touring as it is to short, spirited drives.
Unlike modern sports cars dominated by electronics, the Plus 8 is refreshingly direct. Steering, throttle and brakes respond without filter, encouraging proper involvement and rewarding a committed driver. The sound, the immediacy and the physicality of the experience are what define this car — and why Plus 8s continue to be so well regarded by those who actually drive them.
Ownership & Use
This is a three-owner car from new. The first owner clearly made the most of it, covering 45, 461 miles within the first five years. It was then acquired by a second long-term custodian, before being purchased by our client in 2017.
During the current ownership, the car has been used sparingly, averaging approximately 500 miles per year. It is now offered for sale only to make way for another car recently purchased from ourselves. The most recent MOT records the mileage at 62, 184 miles — a figure that reflects enthusiastic early use followed by more measured enjoyment in later years.
Why this Morgan stands out:
V8 performance with strong torque and a distinctive soundtrack
Manual transmission and minimal driver aids for genuine involvement
Dark blue over tan specification with desirable touring equipment
Honest mileage supported by a clear ownership history
This Plus 8 is not about static display or nostalgia. It is about enjoyment — a car that invites you to take the longer route, drive with intent, and arrive smiling.
