A true icon of British motoring, this 1997 Morgan +8 4.6L is one of the most sought-after and high-performance variants ever built by the historic Malvern-based marque.
First registered on October 13, 1997, this car comes with full history confirming its genuine mileage of only 60,000 km and single ownership from new.
Main Features:
Chassis no.: 4R11747
Engine no.: Rover V8 - S46D00772A
Displacement: 4,555 cc
Rear-wheel drive - 5-speed manual gearbox
The 4.6-litre Rover V8 engine - among the last before Morgan shifted to modern powertrains - delivers a powerful yet refined driving experience, further enhanced by mechanical upgrades:
High-performance camshafts
Sport exhaust system
Aluminium radiator
Manual override cooling fan
Reinforced shock absorbers
Upgraded brake bias valve
Aesthetics and Customization:
This Morgan was ordered with a fully bespoke configuration, featuring an aluminium body finished in the elegant “Jaguar Ice Blue”, a rare and non-standard color. The handcrafted red leather interior adds an unmistakable touch of classic British charm.
The convertible top is in luxurious Mohair Blue, accompanied by a second full set of top and side screens in grey vinyl, making for a complete dual soft-top kit.
Equipment and Original Accessories:
Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel
Polished stainless steel luggage rack
Original chrome wire wheels
Tonneau cover
Additional driving lights
Center armrest and storage box
Wooden glove compartment with closing lid
Additional 4-point safety harnesses
Kenwood radio - vintage style
Rarity and Collectibility:
In 1997, only a handful of 4.6L Morgan +8s were produced, mostly reserved for discerning customers. This example stands out not only for its powerplant but also for being a rare European-spec vehicle in full optional configuration, preserved in outstanding original condition by its first and only owner.
The car has recently undergone a complete maintenance service, including the replacement of all oils, hoses, injector overhaul, and spark plug replacement.
It is therefore ready for immediate use, with no additional expenses required.
A unique opportunity for collectors and Morgan enthusiasts.
