Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der Morgan Plus 8 hat einen Leiterrahmen aus Stahl, auf dem ein aus 94 Teilen bestehendes Holzgerüst aus Eschenholz aufgebaut ist, das die handgetriebenen Bleche der Karosserie trägt. Die Motorhaube ist auffallend lang, längs geteilt und von der Seite nach oben zu klappen, wie es sonst nur noch bis Mitte der 1950er-Jahre an wenigen Fahrzeugen anzutreffen war. Als echter Roadster hat der Wagen nur einen primitiven Wetterschutz, eine verhältnismäßig kleine Windschutzscheibe mit (anfangs drei) kleinen Scheibenwischern, tief ausgeschnittene, vorn angeschlagene Türen und aufsteckbare Seitenscheiben; das Reserverad liegt außen auf dem Heck. Zwei Personen bietet auch die erste Ausführung des Plus 8 mit einer Innenbreite von 1170 mm sowie einer Sitztiefe von 500 mm ausreichend Platz. In einem zeitgenössischen Test heißt es außerdem, dass sich der Fahrersitz genügend weit nach hinten schieben lässt, „damit das feine Astrali-Lederlenkrad in akzeptabler Distanz ergriffen werden kann, …“ Die Anzeigeinstrumente liegen in der Mitte des Armaturenbretts (bis Mitte der 1970er Jahre), wobei der Drehzahlmesser je nach Rechts- oder Linkslenkung im Blickbereich des Fahrers platziert ist.
