Description
Just arrived at The Forge and currently in preparation is this Morgan Plus 8, a distinguished example of British motoring heritage—combining traditional craftsmanship with spirited performance in effortless harmony.
Hand-built in the marque’s time-honoured manner, its ash-framed coachwork is clothed in elegantly flowing panels, with sweeping wings and a louvred bonnet that speak to a lineage largely untouched by passing trends. Beneath, a capable 4. 0-litre Land Rover V8 engine ensures the refined exterior is matched by performance of genuine vigour. Weighing just 940 kilograms, it delivers an engaging and unfiltered driving experience, complemented by a steel chassis and five-speed manual transmission. Inside, finely appointed leather trim provides a welcome degree of comfort.
This particular example has been in the care of just six previous custodians and is accompanied by an extensive and impressively detailed history file, reflecting diligent upkeep throughout its life.
Finished in a deep metallic green, the colour beautifully accentuates its timeless form. This is tastefully complemented by black leather upholstery with green piping and coordinated carpets, creating an interior of understated elegance. An abundance of stainless steel and chromed brightwork further enhances its presence, lending both distinction and refinement.
Externally, the car remains faithful to the revered Plus 8 aesthetic. Its chromed grille, distinctive wing-mounted lamps, and polished mirrors are all presented in excellent order, while stainless steel bumpers front and rear complete a harmonious specification. Optional chrome wire wheels, together with a matching spare, elevate its appearance further, while a chromed luggage rack and twin stainless steel exhausts at the rear provide both practicality and a sporting flourish.
Within the cabin, black leather seats—finely piped in green—sit beneath a leather-clad dashboard top, perfectly paired with a dark wood veneer fascia housing black-bezelled instruments. A three-spoke, leather-bound steering wheel with polished metal accents sits comfortably in hand, while the manual gear lever, topped with a leather knob, offers a tactile and engaging connection to the car.
Accompanying the Morgan is a comprehensive history file, including invoices and documentation charting its maintenance from 2002 to the present day, offering clear reassurance as to the care and attention it has consistently received.

Important Information
While every effort is made to ensure all descriptions and details are accurate, we cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions.
We strongly recommend that all prospective purchasers personally inspect and verify the vehicle prior to purchase.
As with many classic vehicles of this era, it is not uncommon to find minor oil weeping from seals and gaskets. These slight traces are considered a normal characteristic of older engineering rather than a fault, and they do not detract from the car’s performance or overall enjoyment. The vehicle has been carefully inspected, and any oil weeping present is minimal and consistent with age. We believe in complete transparency so that prospective owners can purchase with confidence and a clear understanding of the car’s authentic, lived-in character.
