SUMMARY
Experience timeless British craftsmanship with this stunning 2005 Morgan Roadster — under 24,000 recorded miles and in exceptional condition. A true classic ready to be enjoyed!
DESCRIPTION
Background:
Morgan’s Plus 8 enjoyed a long and successful 36 year production life, from 1968 to 2004, when production halted because of the discontinuation of Rover’s venerable V8. It’s replacement – the Roadster – was all but identical, save for swapping the V8 for a much more up to date 3-litre Ford Duratec V6, which produces similar power,though slightly less torque. The new power unit is slightly lighter than the old V8, which results in increased performance and better fuel economy. The arrival of the Ford Cyclone 3.7-litre 24-valve V6 upped power to 280bhp which – with a kerb weight of just 940kg – offered a 0-62 time of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 140mph.
The chassis of the roadster remains the well known ladder frame in galvanised steel and the body is still made in the time-honoured manner, with steel and aluminium over an ash frame. Unlike its predecessor, the Roadster is available in two and four-seater form.
The car:
This 2005 model is a picture-perfect classic British roadster, right down to its superb Racing Green coachwork. Sitting on chrome wire wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, it’s ready to hit the open road.
This is a one owner car, which is showing to have covered just over 23,000 miles in its 19 year life – enough to keep everything running, while maintaining its superb condition. The light tan interior is just beginning to take on a nice patina, while the matching roof and tonneau cover still look fresh and will offer protection in all weathers.
What could be better than nestling down in the comfortable cockpit, behind the classic 4-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, looking over the wood dash and down the long, louvred bonnet, the lever for the 5-speed manual gearbox falling easily to hand, ready for another adventure?
This charming Morgan comes with the desirable wide-body specification, three full sets of keys, the full handbook pack, and detailed records of its history. The car is accompanied by four previous service and inspection reports from the Japanese MOT process, the Japanese mileage verification certificate and a service book (not stamped, which is common, as the service sheets substitute for this). The mileage verification certificate and supplying dealer’s details (included in the handbook) should enable the next registered keeper to obtain further records if desired.
Summary:
A true British classic, this low-mileage Morgan combines modern performance with timeless elegance, offering an exceptional driving experience that is sure to turn heads at every corner.
