After an eight-year break, it returned to the lineup from 2012 to 2018, featuring a modern bonded aluminum chassis and a powerful BMW V8 engine.

This book provides a detailed history of the Morgan Plus 8, covering its design and manufacturing process. It includes over 300 color photographs, showcasing both the traditional and Aero chassis models.
