The Morgan +8 is one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built. Introduced in 1968, the +8 combined Morgan's timeless pre-war styling with the powerful Rover V8 engine, making it one of Britain's fastest production cars for many years. Thanks to its lightweight construction, traditional craftsmanship and impressive performance, the Morgan +8 became a true cult classic, offering a pure and unfiltered driving experience.

This 1987 example remains in good original, unrestored condition and is finished in an elegant black colour scheme. It is powered by the characterful 3,528 cc Rover V8 with electronic fuel injection, producing 143 kW (194 hp), paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This later fuel-injected version offers noticeably stronger performance, smoother power delivery and improved reliability compared to the earlier carburettor models. The aluminium bodywork presents well and shows only normal signs of use consistent with an honest original car. The soft top has been upgraded in the past with a high-quality fabric version replacing the original vinyl top, while the interior presents well throughout. Thanks to its lightweight construction, fuel-injected V8 engine, timeless styling and unmistakable open-top driving experience, this Morgan +8 offers an authentic British sports car experience that remains unique to this day.
