Model history

The Morgan Plus 8 was presented at the London Motor Show, Earls Court, in September 1968. It attracted worldwide interest and was also well received in Germany. The light alloy eight-cylinder engine in conjunction with a reinforced Morgan frame was an interesting combination: Due to its front-end weight, a Plus 8 proved to be a strong overpricer. When the Plus 8 became available with an aluminum body instead of a steel body in 1977, it was lighter and even faster, but that was not enough: in 1990, the car was equipped with a 3.9-liter engine. Versions with 4.0-liter and 4.6-liter engines with catalytic converter and five-speed gearbox followed later.
