Just arrived at The Forge and currently in preparation is this Morgan Plus 8, a distinguished example of British motoring heritage—combining traditional craftsmanship with spirited performance in effortless harmony.

Hand-built in the marque’s time-honoured manner, its ash-framed coachwork is clothed in elegantly flowing panels, with sweeping wings and a louvred bonnet that speak to a lineage largely untouched by passing trends. Beneath, a capable 4.0-litre Land Rover V8 engine ensures the refined exterior is matched by performance of genuine vigour. Weighing just 940 kilograms, it delivers an engaging and unfiltered driving experience, complemented by a steel chassis and five-speed manual transmission. Inside, finely appointed leather trim provides a welcome degree of comfort.

This particular example has been in the care of just six previous custodians and is accompanied by an extensive and impressively detailed history file, reflecting diligent upkeep throughout its life.

Finished in a deep metallic green, the colour beautifully accentuates its timeless form. This is tastefully complemented by black leather upholstery with green piping and coordinated carpets, creating an interior of understated elegance. An abundance of stainless steel and chromed brightwork further enhances its presence, lending both distinction and refinement.

Externally, the car remains faithful to the revered Plus 8 aesthetic. Its chromed grille, distinctive wing-mounted lamps, and polished mirrors are all presented in excellent order, while stainless steel bumpers front and rear complete a harmonious specification. Optional chrome wire wheels, together with a matching spare, elevate its appearance further, while a chromed luggage rack and twin stainless steel exhausts at the rear provide both practicality and a sporting flourish.

Within the cabin, black leather seats—finely piped in green—sit beneath a leather-clad dashboard top, perfectly paired with a dark wood veneer fascia housing black-bezelled instruments. A three-spoke, leather-bound steering wheel with polished metal accents sits comfortably in hand, while the manual gear lever, topped with a leather knob, offers a tactile and engaging connection to the car.

Accompanying the Morgan is a comprehensive history file, including invoices and documentation charting its maintenance from 2002 to the present day, offering clear reassurance as to the care and attention it has consistently received.

A Note for Prospective Owners:
As with virtually all classic cars of this period, minor oil seepage from seals and gaskets should be expected due to the vehicle’s age, together with the traditional engineering methods and materials used in its original manufacture. When not excessive, this is considered entirely normal for vehicles of this era and forms part of the character and ownership experience associated with traditional classic motoring.

Buying a Classic Vehicle from The Forge:

At The Forge, we specialise in classic, vintage and enthusiast vehicles. Every vehicle we sell is unique, with its own history, character and imperfections. Unlike modern vehicles, classic cars require a different level of ownership, maintenance and understanding.

We pride ourselves on providing honest, detailed vehicle descriptions, extensive photography and videos, enabling prospective purchasers to make an informed buying decision.


No Commercial Warranty:

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing, vehicles sold by The Forge are not supplied with a commercial warranty or guarantee.

This reflects the age, originality and individual nature of the vehicles we sell. Mechanical components on older vehicles are subject to wear, and future maintenance and repairs should be expected as part of classic vehicle ownership.

For customers who would like additional peace of mind, an optional third-party mechanical warranty is available, subject to vehicle eligibility and the warranty provider's terms and conditions. Please contact us before purchase if you would like further information or a quotation.

Nothing in this statement affects your statutory rights.

We encourage all prospective purchasers to read the full advertisement carefully, review all photographs and videos, and contact us with any questions before committing to purchase.

Due to the age of many vehicles, cosmetic wear, minor oil leaks, ageing components, historical repairs, non-original parts and general signs of use should be expected unless otherwise stated.

All viewings are strictly by appointment.

We warmly welcome personal inspections, independent inspections and, where appropriate, accompanied test drives by prior arrangement.

Full access to our in-house vehicle lift is available, allowing prospective purchasers or their appointed specialist to inspect the vehicle both above and below.

We strongly encourage every customer to inspect the vehicle personally, or commission an independent inspection, before completing their purchase.


Accuracy of Information:

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that all descriptions, specifications and information are accurate, they are intended as a guide only and are based on the information available to us at the time of advertising.

Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the vehicle's condition, originality, specification and suitability before purchase. We are always happy to answer questions or provide additional photographs and videos where possible.
