Morgan Plus 8 35th Anniversary Edition Gets a Leathery Interior from Vilner

Morgan only built one hundred units of the Plus 8 35th Anniversary Edition back in the late 1990s. It looks like the owner of this particular car was rather unhappy with the leather that used to dominated the cabin. As a result, he turned to Bulgarian aftermarket specialist Vilner, which has re-done the interior.

Vilner explains the owner asked Morgan for a bespoke cabin treatment before ordering the vehicle but was refused the privilege. We have to explain the Morgan Plus 8 was initially launched back in 1968.

Now, after the retro-styled machine has been given the Vilner treatment, its interior is loaded with brown leather.

A quilted pattern was used to keep with the British tastes, while the stitching is split between white and slver. The side of the seats and the headrests feature the silver take, while white was used for the rest of the interior.

The details, such as the door mechanism, are wrapped in Alcantara, while the seat belt locks now feature stitched covers. In addition, the levers are dressed in brown leather.

Vilner sampled the aluminum on the steering wheel, using the hue to dress the exposed bolts around the interior of the car.

In case you were curious about the tech side of this Morgan, the model we’re talking about is animated by a 3998cc V8 that delivers a rather civilian 190 HP and 320 Nm (lb-ft) of torque, while using a five-speed manual. Still, the engine only has one ton to carry around, so this is a zippy one.

PS: Vilner has attached a pair of before-and-after photos, so you can easily notice the effect of the transformation.
