2001 Morgan Plus 8 V8 Manual
A V8-powered Morgan Plus 8 offering direct, analogue performance. Manual gearbox, dark blue over tan, and well equipped for touring or spirited road use.
A Morgan Built to Be Driven
The Plus 8 occupies a distinctive place in Morgan history, combining traditional construction with V8 performance that set it apart from contemporaries. This example was first registered in 2001 and enjoyed regular use early in its life, covering over 45,000 miles within its first five years.
A second long-term owner followed, before the current custodian acquired the car in 2017.
Since then, it has been used sparingly, averaging around 500 miles per year, with mileage progression clearly recorded through MOT history.
Driving Experience
Unlike modern sports cars shaped by layers of electronics, the Plus 8 delivers an unfiltered driving experience. Steering inputs are immediate, throttle response is direct, and braking feel is clear and progressive.
The V8’s character defines the car, rewarding committed driving on a favourite road while remaining relaxed enough for longer journeys.
Specification and Usability
Finished in dark blue with a tan interior, this Plus 8 presents as intended: purposeful, restrained and functional.
Touring-focused equipment, including wet weather gear and a luggage grid, makes the car practical to use rather than purely occasional.
It is equally comfortable on short, spirited drives or extended road trips.
Ownership Opportunity
Offered for sale only as its current owner makes room for another recent acquisition from ourselves, this Plus 8 represents honest, usable V8 Morgan ownership.
For those who value driving involvement over distraction, it remains a compelling proposition.
