Hi all,
My search has just begun for a Plus 8. I have owned a very special Marcos Mantula V8 for 12 years and due to that I have never owned a Morgan as they were too close in concept. My Marcos is now sold after only having been driven ONCE last year and so my search can begin; I had fallen out of love and am looking to fall in love again!
I have my eye on two white/cream cars with red leather, the probem being I don't know what questions to ask! So hopefully you'll help me... Wires are essential for me, anything else i should be looking for?
Is a galvanised chassis critical? What does 'long door' mean, literally as it sounds? And if you get a long door car, does it have a galvanised chassis as part of that? How long does the wood tend to last, when would it be due for replacement, or did it start to be treated after a certain year?
How upgradeable is the engine on a mid-90s Plus 8? My Marcos had a brand new hand built 4.6 engine which made the car too much of a handful to drive so I won't be doing much to a Plus 8. But what can gee it up a little?
Thanks in advance, look forward to learning!
