1997 Morgan +8 4.6L 1997

1997 MORGAN +8 4.6L – One Owner, Fully Documented, Only 60,000 km – Aluminium Body A true icon of British motoring, this 1997 Morgan +8 4.6L is one of the most sought-after and high-performance variants ever built by the historic Malvern-based marque. First registered on October 13, 1997, this car comes with full history confirming its genuine mileage of only 60,000 km and single ownership from new. Main Features:

• Chassis no.: 4R11747
• Engine no.: Rover V8 – S46D00772A
• Displacement: 4,555 cc
• Rear-wheel drive – 5-speed manual gearbox

The 4.6-litre Rover V8 engine – among the last before Morgan shifted to modern powertrains – delivers a powerful yet refined driving experience, further enhanced by mechanical upgrades:

• High-performance camshafts
• Sport exhaust system
• Aluminium radiator
• Manual override cooling fan
• Reinforced shock absorbers
• Upgraded brake bias valve

Aesthetics and Customization: This Morgan was ordered with a fully bespoke configuration, featuring an aluminium body finished in the elegant “Jaguar Ice Blue”, a rare and non-standard color. The handcrafted red leather interior adds an unmistakable touch of classic British charm. The convertible top is in luxurious Mohair Blue, accompanied by a second full set of top and side screens in grey vinyl, making for a complete dual soft-top kit. Equipment and Original Accessories:

• Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel
• Polished stainless steel luggage rack
• Original chrome wire wheels
• Tonneau cover
• Additional driving lights
• Center armrest and storage box
• Wooden glove compartment with closing lid
• Additional 4-point safety harnesses
• Kenwood radio – vintage style

Rarity and Collectibility: In 1997, only a handful of 4.6L Morgan +8s were produced, mostly reserved for discerning customers. This example stands out not only for its powerplant but also for being a rare European-spec vehicle in full optional configuration, preserved in outstanding original condition by its first and only owner. The car has recently undergone a complete maintenance service, including the replacement of all oils, hoses, injector overhaul, and spark plug replacement. It is therefore ready for immediate use, with no additional expenses required. A unique opportunity for collectors and Morgan enthusiasts.
