The Appeal
The Morgan Plus 8 was the fruit of marrying traditional British craftsmanship with V8 performance. With its lightweight aluminium body and powerful Rover V8 engine, the +8 delivers a driving experience that few other cars of its age could match - combining vintage charm with genuine sports car credentials.
This 1986 example stands out for its provenance, having reportedly been owned by celebrated British artist Damien Hirst, who brought the car to South Africa in 2006. Finished in the classic combination of Old English White over Navy Blue Connolly hide, this Morgan has been preserved in South Africa's dry climate. Recently serviced and fitted with new Continental tyres, this Plus 8 presents an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, highly-specced example of Morgan's most iconic model with fascinating celebrity history.
