History of the Morgan Plus 8

The development of the classic Plus 8 Morgan was led by Maurice Owen,a race car engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Morgan Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified version the chassis of the classic Plus 4, to which it added the Rover alloy block V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Morgans Plus 4 Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, the body was widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis.

The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches wide and the last was 64 inches an optional "widebody" was available at 67 inches. For several years in the 1960s the Morgan Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car.

To mark the 35th year of production of its Plus 8, MMC released a commemorative 'Anniversary Edition'.
