There are sports cars that impress, and there are sports cars that make you smile before you even turn the key. Few brands understand that feeling better than Morgan. This 1998 example, finished in the stunning Lancia Blue over Cognac Beige leather with matching blue carpeting, immediately shows why. It's a color combination that adds depth to the timeless silhouette—as if the design hasn't changed over the decades, only refined.
With just 49,000 kilometers, this Plus 8 has lived the life Morgan intended: driven, cherished, and properly maintained. The complete service history through 2025 is present and thoroughly documented with invoices. “A Morgan is built to order and built to last,” they say in Malvern. And that is exactly the impression this car gives: a hand-built companion assembled with precision and care.
Beneath the long aluminum bonnet lies the 4.6-liter V8—an engine that helped cement the Plus 8's reputation as one of the most spirited British roadsters ever built. Combined with the car's low weight and direct steering, it delivers a driving experience you don't measure in numbers but in sensations: the deep V8 growl under acceleration, the subtle twitch in the wheel on country roads, the mechanical purity modern cars have long forgotten.
The finishing touches complete the picture. Chrome wire wheels, a warm walnut dashboard glowing softly in the sun, the elegant luggage rack—each detail reflects the classic, almost romantic British sports-car tradition that makes a Morgan so unique. Step inside, look around, rest your hand on the dashboard, and you instantly feel part of an international circle of enthusiasts who understand that true motoring is about more than speed and technology.
But perhaps the most beautiful aspect of this Plus 8 isn't what you see, but what you feel once you're behind the wheel. There's something almost ceremonial about starting the V8, as if the car takes a deep breath before coming to life. The way the torque arrives instantly, the effortless way the engine climbs through the revs—it all makes you forget you're driving a car from the 1990s. The driving character is timeless: lively, honest, and surprisingly refined.
What makes this Plus 8 truly special is the harmony between its appearance, engineering, and history. You can tell it's been cared for—not polished into a sterile museum piece. It's a car that invites you in: for a Sunday morning drive, a weekend through the hills, or the kind of stories you don't forget. You don't buy a Morgan to own it; you buy a Morgan to experience it.
