75 Years of MSCC – The Plus 8
Few Morgan models have captured the imagination quite like the Plus 8.
Introduced in 1968, the Plus 8 combined Morgan's timeless styling with V8 power, creating what was then the fastest accelerating British production car. The combination of a lightweight chassis, unmistakable styling and a glorious V8 soundtrack quickly made it a favourite among enthusiasts.
Conceived by Peter Morgan, the Plus 8 was based on the successful Plus 4 but brought a new level of performance to the traditional Morgan formula. Over the next five decades, the model evolved through numerous engine and specification changes while retaining the character that made it so special.
From the early Rover-powered cars of the late 1960s through to the final BMW V8-powered examples produced in 2018, the Plus 8 remained one of the most iconic Morgans ever built. Many enthusiasts believe it played a crucial role in securing the company's future, introducing countless drivers to the unique appeal of Morgan motoring.
Today, the Plus 8 remains one of the most sought-after Morgans, celebrated for its blend of traditional craftsmanship, thrilling performance and unmistakable presence.
