Few marques evoke the spirit of traditional British motorsport quite like Morgan, and fewer still offer the opportunity to own a genuine competition car that remains equally at home on the road. This 1987 Morgan Plus 8 represents just such an opportunity, combining proven Morgan Challenge pedigree with road registration, making it a remarkably versatile proposition for the enthusiast.

Presented in handsome Royal Blue, the car is currently prepared to Morgan Challenge Class 2 specification (formerly Class B), a category in which competitive examples are seldom offered to the open market. The current owner has enjoyed stewardship for more than a decade, maintaining the car with the benefit of long-term ownership and an intimate understanding of its competition requirements.

Power comes from the well-proven 4.0-litre V8, which has recently benefited from a comprehensive engine refresh. Significantly, the engine has not been raced since the rebuild, having covered only limited test mileage, presenting the next custodian with the confidence of effectively fresh mechanicals ready for their next chapter.

The cockpit reflects the car's competition-focused purpose, featuring a full roll cage, lightweight Tillet race seat and removable steering wheel. A passenger seat has also been fitted, making the car particularly well suited to driver tuition, demonstration laps or simply sharing the experience with a fellow enthusiast—an increasingly popular feature in modern historic and club motorsport.

Importantly, the car is fully road registered and accompanied by its current V5C registration document. This greatly enhances its appeal, allowing the successful purchaser to enjoy the car beyond the circuit, whether driving to events, participating in hill climbs, sprint meetings, track days or simply enjoying one of Britain's most charismatic V8 sports cars on the open road.

Adding further distinction is the car's known and highly respected provenance. It was originally built by Chas Windridge for Chris Aklam, two names synonymous with success in Morgan competition and both recognised championship-winning figures within the marque's close-knit racing community. Such provenance adds an extra dimension to the car's appeal and authenticity.

Prior to the sale, the Plus 8 will be recommissioned as required, including a rolling-road session to confirm that the engine and associated systems are performing exactly as intended, allowing its next owner to purchase with additional confidence. As with any competition car, prospective purchasers need to check the currency and eligibility of any safety-related equipment (cage, belts, seat, tank, extinguishers etc.).

Whether your ambition is to contest the Morgan Challenge, compete in hill climbs and sprints, enjoy exhilarating track-day outings or simply own an immensely characterful competition Morgan with impeccable credentials and genuine road-going capability, this outstanding Plus 8 presents an opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.
