Morgan Plus 8 by Michael Scarlett Pdf

The fabulous Morgan Plus 8 was introduced in 1968 and continued to be produced at Morgan’s factory in Malvern for 36 years. Assembled by hand using traditional methods, the Plus 8 had a uniquely nostalgic flavor and was, in many ways, the last of the traditional ‘hairy-chested’ British sports cars, combining old-fashioned styling with prodigious power. This beautifully produced book, chronicling the complete story of the Plus 8, will appeal to all sports car fans as well as to Morgan owners and enthusiasts.

Completely Morgan by Ken Hill Pdf

For owners and would-be owners of four-wheeled Morgans, Ken Hill has created an invaluable ‘Bible’ which is absolutely packed with genuinely useful information. Ken sets the stage by detailing the history of the Morgan motor company, describes the marque’s motorsport record and then, in great detail, chronicles the evolution of all four-cylinder and eight-cylinder models available since 1968. Next comes practical advice on restoration and general care - advice based on information gathered, over a number of years, from a host of Morgan owners and specialists around the world. This book’s guidance on restoration techniques will prove to be a real boon to those undertaking a rebuild or considering the purchase of a car in need of restoration. Again, this advice is based upon experience, as Ken restored his own concours-winning Morgan. Part of the ‘Morgan experience’ is the extraordinary social scene that embraces the marque on a worldwide basis, so Ken devotes a whole chapter to Morgan clubs and their activities. The last part of the book is a series of appendices comprised of original specifications, production changes, wiring diagram, technical data sheets, Lucas electrical component data, details of specialists, distributors and manufacturers, details of Morgan miniature models and a record of factory sales literature. Altogether, this work is a unique source book of essential information for all Morgan owners and enthusiasts.
