Vehicle Description
We purchased this car from a local collection several years ago and
have been maintaining it for the diligent new owner since. Few Plus
8s were imported due to difficulty getting the carbureted Rover 3.5
liter aluminum V8 emission US certified. The novel solution was to
run the cars on propane! Naturally, once the cars were delivered
out of emission-testing areas, that induction system was always
discarded.
Today this car sports a modern Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor,
electronic ignition, tuned exhaust headers, thick-core aluminum
radiator and runs great! It has a fabulous V8 rumble from the dual
exhausts and is quite the hot rod with its updated Tremec 5-speed
transmission and wide Michelin tires. Of course, only true Morgan
afficionados can tell one Morgan model from another, since they all
look so similar, but not many scoot like this one does.
Excellent red paint is set off with black leather on the
pre-DOT-style Morgan seats and the black (rarely used) weather
equipment remains in nice condition. These came originally with
attractive alloy wheels, but this car has been upgraded with chrome
wire wheels for a more traditional look (the 5 alloy wheels come
with it).
Potential customers in California or anywhere else where emission
testing should know it probably can't be registered there and we
will require a signed acknowledgement to that effect from the
eventual buyer. NOTE: It will not pass emission testing.
If you are considering one of the classic or collectible cars on
our website, be assured that coming for a personal visit to inspect
first-hand the car that has captured your fancy is very welcome. We
practice transparency in all of our descriptions, but believe that
nothing is as convincing as seeing and touching the car yourself.
Plan a few hours, so you can see, touch, feel and drive the car,
and enjoy a tour of our restoration shops to see 'where the magic
happens.' If your schedule is too committed, we also welcome a
knowledgeable agent visiting for you. Please understand that sales
are final, so the time for all due diligence is before you buy. Our
cars are sold AS-IS, since most are on consignment from owners. We
follow FTC guidelines for all sales and certainly want our future
clients leaving more glowing reports among our reviews!
