Information About the Morgan Plus 8
As the E-Type is to Jaguar, and the DB5 is to Aston Martin, so too, is the Plus 8 to British motoring icons Morgan. It’s their flagship model that’s been in production in numerous variants, on and off, since that most halcyon of decades for motoring, the swinging 60s.
For 35 consecutive years from 1968 to 2004 - one of the longest continuous production runs ever for a British sports car - it’s bold but classy looks has won it a place in the hearts of many a motoring enthusiast. Designed by Morgan’s owner and chairman, Peter Morgan, it was the natural successor from their Plus 4 model.
It was another British icon of the driving world that offered powering on the Plus 8 - namely, Rover, who supplied the 3.5 litre V8 engine from which it partly takes its name. A very light car, weighing in at 895 lbs, this undoubtedly boosts its more aerodynamic capabilities.
And the speed stats make for impressive reading too: acceleration from 0 - 60 mph in just over 6 seconds, whilst you can expect to reach top speeds in excess of 154 mph. Whether out on the circuit track or the open road, the Morgan Plus 8 really comes to life in a way few other cars can.
Cool Facts About the Morgan Plus 8
Whilst the Plus 8 was retired following production of a limited 35th anniversary edition model in 2003, Morgan have bought it out of retirement for a few more special runs since then. The new Plus 8, powered this time on a BMW V8 engine, was released in 2012, whilst an exclusive run of 60 ‘Plus 8 Speedster’ models were produced in 2014.
The Morgan Plus 8 was also one of a handful of British cars to find success in the North American market. Import sales of models remained consistently strong in the States all the way through to the early 90s, where they were converted to run on propane fuel as per US Emission regulations.
