Morgan Plus 8 50th revealed

To celebrate the farewell of the Plus 8 Morgan has unveiled the Plus 8 50th at the Geneva motor show, designed to celebrate five decades on the market and more than 6000 happy customers.

Once this special-edition is complete, production will end after 50 years as BMW no longer builds the N62 V8 engine used.

Power comes from a 4.8-litre BMW V8 with 274kW, a 0-100km/h of 4.5 seconds and a 250km/h top speed.

Morgan boss, Steve Morris, said “The Morgan Plus 8 sits firmly as one of the most iconic and revered models of Morgan’s 109-year history”

“For many, the Plus 8 is the archetypal British sports car combining handcrafted, bespoke luxury with exhilarating performance – and that’s exactly why the Plus 8 has been a mainstay of the Morgan range for 50 years.”

Pricing starts at £129,000 and includes a bespoke Christopher Ward watch.
