The purchase price of the Morgan Plus 8 was £24,230.00, but with all the extra options added it came to a total of £36,115.97. Currently, the car is still in fine and original condition. It is rich in documentation and extensive history, but in addition to the option list and purchase invoice, there are numerous invoices and inspections. Also, the original service booklet is still present. In 2009, the Morgan was sold to a Dutch owner who registered it on 20/5/2009. The documentation shows that the Morgan has been well cared for. This can also be seen in the car's current condition. It has nice chrome & paintwork and a neat interior.

The Morgan's service and odometer readings are noted in the original service booklet. The mileage reads just 42,681 miles which is very low for this type of car. Under the bonnet there is the original 3.9-litre V8. The engine produces around 185hp along with 235nm of torque. 0-100km/h is covered in an impressive 6.0 seconds and the top speed is at 200km/h. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly and trouble-free. The dashboard has several gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltmeter, temperature, petrol gauge and oil temperature.

It comes with a new MOT. In terms of documentation, various invoices & inspections, manuals, service booklet and registration papers are present.
