Bought a 98 Plus 8 a month ago with help from members of the Florida Morgan Club and today I finally got it across the border into Canada and home. Now I need wiper blades and a new battery just for starters, any suggestions please.

Congratulations, it looks in excellent condition. Melvin Rutter can post the wiper blades to you and he has a good online shop. Enjoy your plus 8.

Looks in lovely condition, as Deano says Melvyn is your best bet for the wiper blades. If your Plus 8 has battery in same place as my 96 one then it will be on a plate above the rear axle, it will on lying come out from below even though it is quite small. It is a small early Mini battery, Bosch make them.

Dave, rather wonderful! I noticed the bumpers: mounted higher and with rubber gaiters between bumper and body. Is this a Federal requirement?
