An enormous folder of history accompanies this beautiful Connaught Green Morgan from new. Every conceivable extra on the options list was ticked when the car was ordered and supplied by John Macdonald Racing to its first owner and shortly thereafter was sold and remained in the same diligent ownership for 30 years.

This is a pre-cat car which has covered only 66,054 miles in total and runs 4 x downdraft Dellortos, Librands straight through twin system and stainless (balanced) manifolds resulting in a tractable ~230 BHP and a sensational induction and exhaust note! Additional features include:

- Koni telescopic damper conversion (rear) and fronts replaced

- Uprated 4-pot brake callipers with vented discs.

- Anti-tramp bar and Panhard rod

- Body colour 7” offset wire wheel conversion with triple eared knock-on hubcaps.

- Willans full harness belts.

- Full (colour coded) safety roll-bar

- Dual 'Monza' filler caps.

- Fold flat screen with Aero-screens, wind deflectors, mirror extensions etc.

- Green hide and carpet with complimenting weather equipment.

- Mota-lita four spoke leather rim wheel

- Private registration number which is included and masks the age of the car very well.


And lots more ….

Also included, but not fitted:

- Luggage rack and straps.

- Original bumpers (removed when new).

- ‘Morgan’ emblem quality fleece car cover.

- Extensive 'Touring Kit' with essential spares.

- Mint condition handbook, catalogue etc.

- Factory order and every bill from new.


The bodywork and upholstery is marvelous with very light patina commensurate to the low mileage and enthusiasts ownership.

In essence it is a Plus 8 ‘Supersports’ (a model which Morgan never made, but arguably should have) which has averaged just 2,000 miles per annum. Maintained fastidiously this is an intriguing proposition worthy of consideration. A real drivers car!
