Spare parts for Morgan Plus 8
The Morgan Plus 8 is one of the most legendary sports cars of the Morgan Motor Company, first introduced in 1968. It combined the brand’s classic roadster design with a large V8 engine, creating a powerful and charismatic addition to the model range. Its name derived from the 3.5-liter Rover V8 engine, which gave the lightweight car impressive performance.
Visually, the Plus 8 stayed true to Morgan’s traditional style with exposed fenders, an ash wood frame, and a hand-crafted aluminum body. Technically, however, it set new standards: thanks to the V8 engine and its low weight, it was among the fastest British production sports cars of the 1970s and 1980s.
Over its production run, the Plus 8 was fitted with various evolutions of the Rover V8, and later with BMW engines. This allowed it to be continuously modernized over the decades without losing its distinctive character. It was offered as a classic two-seater and in special editions, winning enthusiasts worldwide.
Today, the Morgan Plus 8 is regarded as an icon of British sports car tradition: it unites Morgan’s artisanal craftsmanship with the power of a V8 engine, embodying a unique blend of elegance, heritage, and pure driving pleasure.
