This 1971 Morgan Plus 8 is finished in a striking two-tone yellow and red exterior with a tan leather interior. Under the hood, it features a 3.5-liter Rover V8 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission, offering a raw, unfiltered driving experience. The car has been well-maintained with numerous updates, including a rebuilt carburetor system, upgraded electronic ignition, and recent maintenance including new spark plugs, wires, and thermostat. The body shows some signs of age with a few touch-ups and minor paint chips, particularly on the fenders, door jambs, and windshield cowl. Notable exterior features include a rear-mounted spare tire, chrome bumpers, and a luggage rack. The black convertible top is in good condition, with matching side curtains providing additional protection from the elements when necessary. Inside, the car boasts a well-preserved Stone leather interior, with low-back bucket seats and original wood flooring. The dashboard features classic Smiths instrumentation, including a 140-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer. The odometer reads just 14,000 miles. The car rides on 15" silver aluminum wheels fitted with Michelin X redline tires, and braking is handled by front power-assisted discs and rear drums.
