At the turn of the millennium, Morgan finally got serious about its future. Cue V8 splendour.
Note for reference: car weight and power data is hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.
The service schedule is 10,000 miles but it was important to see evidence of the first 1,000-mile service on the paperwork. Pre-’07 cars were supposed to be inspected every six months. Fixed price servicing through Morgan will cost £70 for a health check, £542 for an interval service and £898 for the full, all excluding VAT. The high days and holidays nature of the car made it wise to invest in a trickle charger/conditioner for the gel battery.
As with the drivetrain, chassis performance was greatly improved by the end of the 8’s production run but the steering could never be described as inspiring, the lack of self-centring requiring more manual wind-back by the driver than might have been seen as desirable. There was a fair bit of bump steer too. Power steering pumps failed but they weren’t expensive to replace.
There’s no such thing as a waterproof Morgan. On both series 1 and series 2 cars the rain can come in not only through the usual convertible weak spot between the hood and the window tops but also between the hood and windscreen. The windscreen wipers were tiny and pretty ineffectual even when they were in optimal working order. Water could get past the glass on those Beetle headlamps too. Window winding mechanisms weren’t fault-free on early cars. Indicator wiring could become detached.
