About this Morgan Plus 8
THE ULTIMATE MORGAN PLUS 8 5.0 LITRE SPORTS
This was a huge project for Morgan specialists 'Revolutions' in Perth, Scotland, turning this car from a very successful race car which had previously been owned and raced very successfully by Historic Grand Prix Cars Association Chairman Peter Horsman between 2007 & 2021.
It was fully rebuilt into a breathtaking Road Car by Revolutions in Perth, Scotland between 2021 and 2024 at a cost of over £100K, and it has some very special and unique features including a brand new 5.0 litre (4997cc) Rover V8 Engine from J.E. Developments costing £28K, complete with down draft Weber Carburettors and producing over 420bhp and 380lbs/ft of Torque and with its twin side-exit exhausts, it sounds absolutely fantastic. See J.E. Developments website: https://johnealesroverv8.co.uk/product/5-0-litre-engine/
The car was fully repainted in Ivory White and given a new Maroon leather interior including dashboard, new Maroon hood, tonneau cover, side screens, Maroon wing beading, roll-over bar, new Aluminium Radiator, Aluminium Fuel tank, adjustable Suspension including anti-tramp bars, Performance Brakes all around, five new Plus 8 15" Alloy Wheels with new Avon Efficient Grip 205/60/15 Tyres. It has been built and prepared for both the road and track use and comes with a set of 6 x Race Alloy Wheels and Tyres, should someone fancy taking racing or Track days.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a very special Morgan Plus 8 which is in 'As New' condition and it really is something else to drive!
The current owner purchased the car from Revolutions in January 2024 after the rebuild was completed and he gave just over £80,000 for the car, but it has been dried stored for much of the last 12 months and he has only driven it 1,175 miles since it was completed.
However, he has spent almost £10K since he bought it on various upgrades including a full Race/Checkover/Service by Morgan Service dealer Techniques in Hertfordshire in March 2025 and works included the fitting of a race harness bar and Race Harnesses to both driver and passenger seats, fitted a new Red mohair Soft Top, re-covering both new side screens in Red mohair to match and they also modified the Tonneau cover to fit the new Roll-bar fitted. A copy of their invoice is shown in the Documents below.
It is of course now classified as an 'Historic Vehicle' meaning it is Road Tax free, MOT exempt and ULEZ compliant.
Upon sale, the car will be given a new MOT, and it will come with a 6 Month Warranty.
Further details to follow shortly as we are waiting for the build sheet from Revolutions.
Delivery can be arranged anywhere in the UK at additional cost if required.
Available to view at our Mortlake showrooms in South West London from 10th July 2026.
