Greetings all, I have just bought 424 AMX - the ex Pat Kennett 1953/54 "interim" Plus 4. I am, obviously, rather chuffed to have a Plus 4 with such an interesting history, and one that is so well illustrated. My 3 sons are chuffed that we "FINALLY DAD!!!" have a morgan that we ca...

I was at the meeting at Croft where the car was "written off" - it was the Battle of Britian race meeting. As to period racing, I'll have a trawl through jim tucker's notes and archive, and pictures, see if I can dig anything up in there.

Hello All - has anyone noticed that the 4 seat Le Mans replica EVR 804 is in the Coys auction on 27th April at Ascott Race course? It looks lovely in the photograph in their press release. Just thought I'd mention it.....

RIGHT - As it is 2013 - it's Jim tucker Trophy Time again! I have sponsorship for prizes - yes, you get real money for winning this one! - I have asked Julius Thurgood if we can run within one of his HRDC events. I'll be seeing Julius this Tuesday/Wednesday - let me know if many of you are intereste...

Ref Leigh - Eddie Hall drove solo post was in his Bentley. Louis Rossier "shared" with his son, Jean-Louis, and only let the lad drive for 3 laps - enough time for a loo break, a cup of coffee and a banana! They won in the Talbot-Lago that year.....

All Morgans, Monicas, Deep Sandersons etc - A service of Memorial and Celebration for the Life of Chris Lawrence will be held at Great Malvern Priory at 2pm on Friday 30th September. Refreshments will be at the Visitor's Centre at Morgan afterwards. Let's make certain Chris gets a good turn out of &...

Hello to all!
I am so sorry that I could not be there!

Delighted that those who made it enjoyed the event. Adrian is someone I introduced to Jim personally, as with Barry, so, fabulous result!

Let me know if you want it to happen annually or bi-annually?

Cheers,

Guy

Hi all - Barry SS, our UK organiser, has asked for "shows of intent" - cash not necessary now, but I do need to let him know! I believe we race on Saturday. Thanks those who have sent me paperwork - we need to hit all who raced last time, so, please, spread the word!
Best,
Guy

Hi Barry, I well remember you flying around the Wilaston Circuit at the Manx Classic! The 1971 date was chosen because Jim hung up his helmet at the end of the 1971 season, not coming back to racing until the 1990's when his car had become a "classic"! BUT - given Jim enjoyed your "Mo...

Calling all drivers of 4/4, +4 or pre 1971 Plus 8 Morgans. Following last year's first running, we are BACK for 2011. This year we are proposing to run a 1 hour, 1 or 2 driver, compulsary pit stop race at......SPA. This will be for the superb Tucker Trophy, which James will have to, perhaps, surrend...

To clarify a few things ref- Jim Tucker's car and mentions on here. Jim's two "Big" races were both at Brands. in 1965 and 1966. In 1965 he ran in the famous "Guards 1000" - or "Double 500 " race. There were lots of Morgans in the entry list - Lawrencetune (slr - TOK 25...

Here's another one for you all -

Where is TKL 859?

I have a picture of it racing at Brands in the 1960's, with number 85 on the door, and a be-spectacled driver up. High-Coweled, on SUs - hole cut in bonnet side for them.

Pip Pip!
