The burgundy interior is a perfect match for the black exterior of this gorgeous Plus 8. It’s finished to the high standard and with the refined style we would expect of a Morgan having been re-trimmed by the current owner in 2008. The low slung driving position of the Plus 8 is relaxed and comfortable, but more than supportive enough for when the roads get twisty. Looking down the long bonnet with the top down, the windows off and the sound of the V8 purring away, there are few classic British motoring experiences that can match the Morgan.
All of the woodwork from the trim on the doors to the wide wood dashboard and Mota-Lita steering wheel look fantastic as well as being in excellent condition. The burgundy leather seats are soft, comfortable and in superb condition with the matching carpeting also in very good condition. The overall condition of this Plus 8 is superb and it makes for the kind of fantastic driving experience it’s hard not to love.

The black paintwork is in very good condition throughout and it’s clear that this has been a well cared for car. The chrome surrounds on the lights, bumpers, door handles and all of the other chrome trim all present very well, further adding to the fantastic impression that this car makes. The hood and tonneau are both in superb condition along with the wheels. There is nothing in the exterior of this plus 8 that even hints at its age, this is a fantastic example of a very well cared for car.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
