You would have to dig it up when it has lost it's leaves for the winter. You need as large a rootball as you can manage for it to survive. 8 years old may be too big and it can be upsetting if it dies after you've moved it. How about just buying yourself a new one of the same variety?

Thanks this may be the best option.

Yes, I think so. You can always remember 'Mum had one of these' and maybe even re-visit the original from time to time!
