Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannThe Morgan +8 is a real rarity in the automotive world—its handcrafted, extremely lightweight body is paired with a powerful V8 engine, all wrapped up in a timeless design. Many Morgan vehicles are tailored to a classic look, for example with spoke rims and wood inlays in the interior. The vehicle offered here, on the other hand, has a deliberately sporty design: it has aluminum rims, the interior is kept in simple black, and the leather steering wheel invites you to take corners at speed. The Morgan is extremely well maintained and has a comprehensive service history. Get in and have fun!

Model history
