Highlights: – 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, petrol, manual transmission – Light blue paintwork with a black soft top and black alloy wheels – Black diamond-quilted leather seats – Fitted with a chrome luggage rack – Mileage of 48000 miles The private seller offers for sale this 2014 Morgan Plus 8, powered by a 4.8-litre V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission. The Plus 8 name has a long history at Morgan, first used in 1968 when the company fitted the lightweight Rover V8 into its traditional sports car. The model returned in 2012 with a very different heart, a BMW-sourced 4.8-litre V8, and continued the Morgan recipe of a light, hand-built body wrapped around a powerful engine. This example is finished in light blue with a black soft top, black multi-spoke alloy wheels and a chrome luggage rack on the tail. Inside, the two seats are trimmed in black diamond-quilted leather. The seller draws attention to the sound of the BMW V8, a trait that is central to the character of these cars. Like every Plus 8, the car follows the classic Morgan design with its upright grille, flowing front wings and open cockpit. With a body that is light for its power output, a manual gearbox and a V8 exhaust note, it offers an old-fashioned sports car experience that is increasingly rare today.
