Finished in elegant Burgundy Metallic with a tan leather interior, this splendid 1988 Morgan Plus 8 embodies all the charm, sound and spirit of the quintessential British sports car. The vendor informs us that the car has covered just 22,000 miles from new, has had five former keepers, and has been in the current ownership for 18 years. It is accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing numerous invoices and correspondence from Morgan specialists, alongside a set of keys and a photograph record from earlier in its life. The car retains its cherished registration ‘E8 MOG’, which is included in the sale.

Powered by the 3.5-litre Rover V8, the Plus 8 combined classic Morgan design with muscular performance, offering effortless torque and an unmistakable soundtrack.
