Description
Capots Vintage, specialists in sports and classic vehicles in Lyon, are offering for sale a 2002 Morgan Plus 8 Le Mans 62: Following a change of plans by the previous buyer, we are pleased to offer for sale this very rare Morgan Plus 8, special edition "Le Mans 62". Created to celebrate the 40ᵉ anniversary of Morgan's victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1962, this version is limited to just 40 examples. Its design pays tribute to Morgan's sporting heritage and evokes the victorious TOK 258, driven by Chris Lawrence and Richard Shepherd-Barron. As the commemorative plaque on the dashboard indicates, our example is number 23 of the 40 produced. Only two are currently available in France, and this is the only one for sale. With only 40, 700 original km, this model has had just three owners since its launch.
This commemorative version has a number of special features, including a green 'Le Mans Green' paint finish, a removable ivory fibreglass hardtop, 'Le Mans 62' instrumentation, black leather upholstery with perforated panels and trim, a Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel bearing each car's individual number, carpets with 'Le Mans 62' lettering, a slightly raked windscreen to improve aerodynamics, a stainless steel sports exhaust and a numbered badge on the dashboard. The car also features stainless steel door hinges and is powered by a 193bhp Rover 4. 0L V8 engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. A full service has recently been carried out by Morgan, including an overhaul of the braking system and replacement of the radiator. Supplied with hard top and soft top, tonneau cover and sidescreen with black PVC storage pockets. No charge. Can be traded in for your sports car or classic.
