Would like to say HELLO to all of you cheers .

I got my Morgan+8 last year after searching quite a while for such a car. My problem was that I´m 1.97m and so I don´t fit into a "standard" +8. But in the end, I was lucky and got the chance to buy this wonderful +8 love . It´s build in 94, so it gives my legs enough room to sit comfortably. The sound of the engine is unbelievable as you know joy and it´s a real pleasure to have a look to the dashboard. The best of all, people around are looking friendly, thumbs up and asking to take a picture… I never had that experience with my other cars like the TR6PI, 911 SC3.0, BMW 2.8 Z Coupe and lots of motorbikes.

I think I´ve found what I was looking for. The plan is now to get used to all the details of the car and we are planing a trip to Malvern. Since last year I had a look into TM on a regular basis, so I decided to sign in. I´m a mechanical engineer and in the last eight years restoring a VW T3 SYNCRO. So, it´s very interesting for me to read all these articles about restorations and I hope I can give something back of my experiences sherlock .

Best regards
Roland

Welcome Roland,

Germany is a great place for a +8, generally better roads than in the UK, some wonderful countryside and the occasional un-restricted autobahn love

We spent, pre Morgan days, 8 happy years in Wesel, FRG, where I became a Mercedes addict. Now we have 2 x AMG + 1 x 2014 Morgan +8 with BMW 4.8L V8. A magnificent GT car, we need to show it to Germany!

Enjoy, tell us all about your fun.

Peter

Hi Roland,
welcome to the Morgan world! What colour is your car? In 94 I purchased a +8 and it was built after a talk with Mr. day in the factory to fit my 1,93. 😉
