While looking for references to Triplex glass, I came across this site. I once had an almost complete collection of MG brochures (1961-1982), and I know that brochure collecting can become all-consuming. When I changed allegiences to Morgan I sold my MG stuff on e-bay, and have resisted the temptation to start collecting Morgan brochures, although I do have a few relevant items. Enjoy this: http://www.car-brochures.eu/morganbrochures.htmNote that the two tone Plus 8 used in the 35th Anniversary brochure is the same car which was used in the first Roadster brochure. (Tsk - Tsk).

Very interesting Dave - thanks for sharing.
I managed to get the '76 brochure to "match" my car. Pleased your link has confirmed I've got the right one!

Very interesting link - thanks Dave.
Fascinating to see the changes of Graphic style over the decades.
Shame it stops at 2008.
When I had the 4/4 I managed to buy the right year brochure off ebay.

Thanks for posting. It's certainly interesting, and the 1976 particularly for me. When I specified my 2014 Plus 4 I set out to have it look like a '70's Plus 8, which I yearned for at the time - and since.
Seeing the 8 in the brochure, it's very close, with the shade of yellow and alloys. However, not being keen on black interiors, I went for the saddle brown instead. Very happy with the choice, and it fools the casual observers.
Does anyone know what the name of this Morgan colour yellow at the time?
