1982 Morgan Plus 8

Credited with saving the Morgan corporation, the Plus 8 model was manufactured for nearly 40-years and was an instant hit. The Plus 8 was designed as an extension of the Plus 4 model and received varying powertrains during its years of manufacture. Overall, the Plus 8 was a significant seller in the Unites Stated, commanding much of Morgan's sales during the 1950's and 1960s. The design of the Plus 8, credited to Peter Morgan, the brand's owner-chairman, was always marveled by those who appreciated bold stately styling. This right-hand drive 1982 Plus 8 is a fantastic example of a well-maintained preserved Morgan that drives equally as well as it presents itself. The car was reportedly purchased new in its U.K. home market by an American tourist who had the car imported personally. Around the exterior, the Indigo Blue exterior (repainted in 2020) pops against the car's reupholstered burgundy leather interior. The detailwork on this Plus 8 shows the care that has been taken during its ownership. Powered by a Rover-made Buick-designed 3.5L OHV V8 tied to a 5-speed manual tranmission, the Plus 8 is a fantastic car to drive. It is the perfect blend of classic styling and modern performance. Updates to the car have included a Moto-Lita steering wheel, Weber/Edelbrock 500 carburetor, aluminum intake manifold with RPI Engineering installation kit, Cal Cusom finned aluminum valve covers, custom exhaust and Rutherford tubular rear suspension with AVO front and rear shocks. Unless stated otherwise, mileage shown on odometer is exempt and uknown if original. ----...
