I've seen 4/4's and +4's available as basket cases but never a +8. If you
do find a +8 basket case and perform most of the restoration yourself,
the cost will probably be at least 30K+. However, if you enjoy restoration
work and would like to gradually pay for the car, this is probably a good
way to go. On the other hand, It seems that there some good cars out
there selling for less (some much less!) than the amount of money spent to
restore them. I've personally spent more restoring my own car than I'll
probably ever get if I ever decide to sell it...but at least I know it was
restored properly and I was able to make my own choices for exterior color,
interior, options, mod's etc..Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Subject: Morgan +8
Dear Morgan folks:
I am British car nut from way back, having owned my first British car in
1965- a '57 Ford Anglia. In the interim, I've had a lot of British cars.
My dream car is a Morgan +8, gasoline powered. Do they ever come up for
sale as basket cases or in need of restoration? I just don't have $30k+ to
plunk down all at once on another car. Anyone have any advice or tips?
Thanks.
Don Scott
