1997 MORGAN +8 4.6L - One Owner, Fully Documented, Only 60,000 km - Aluminium Body

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.
