1997 Morgan Plus 8

1997 MORGAN +8 4.6L – One Owner, Fully Documented, Only 60,000 km – Aluminium Body

A true icon of British motoring, this 1997 Morgan +8 4.6L is one of the most sought-after and high-performance variants ever built by the historic Malvern-based marque.

First registered on October 13, 1997, this car comes with full historical certification and documentation, confirming its genuine mileage of only 60,000 km and single ownership from new.

Main Features:

Chassis no.: 4R11747

Engine no.: Rover V8 – S46D00772A

Displacement: 4,555 cc

Rear-wheel drive – 5-speed manual gearbox

The 4.6-litre Rover V8 engine – among the last before Morgan shifted to modern powertrains – delivers a powerful yet refined driving experience, further enhanced by mechanical upgrades:

High-performance camshafts

Sport exhaust system

Aluminium radiator

Manual override cooling fan

Reinforced shock absorbers

Upgraded brake bias valve

Aesthetics and Customization:

This Morgan was ordered with a fully bespoke configuration, featuring an aluminium body finished in the elegant “Jaguar Ice Blue”, a rare and non-standard color. The handcrafted red leather interior adds an unmistakable touch of classic British charm.

The convertible top is in luxurious Mohair Blue, accompanied by a second full set of top and side screens in grey vinyl, making for a complete dual soft-top kit.

Equipment and Original Accessories:

Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel

Polished stainless steel luggage rack

Original chrome wire wheels

Tonneau cover

Additional driving lights

Center armrest and storage box

Wooden glove compartment with closing lid

Additional 4-point safety harnesses

Kenwood radio – vintage style

Rarity and Collectibility:

In 1997, only a handful of 4.6L Morgan +8s were produced, mostly reserved for discerning customers. This example stands out not only for its powerplant but also for being a rare European-spec vehicle in full optional configuration, preserved in outstanding original condition by its first and only owner.

A unique opportunity for collectors and Morgan enthusiasts.

The car has recently undergone a complete maintenance service, including the replacement of all oils, hoses, injector overhaul, and spark plug replacement.

It is therefore ready for immediate use, with no additional expenses required.
