Re: supersports

Hello Machiel,
I'm not sure I'd know where to start it's seems quite a minefield but if you have the starts of a list along with John's /Ken Hill's list that might be the place to start from. Happy for you to email me.

Re: Super Sports ignition timing

Thanks Jack, as far as I'm aware it is still standard Lawrence Tune Super Sports, I have nothing from an engine builder to go on!

Super Sports ignition timing

Hi All, Wasn't sure which board to pick so hope it's the right one! I'm slowly working through sorting bits on my Super Sports and could do with some advise on what people are running with for ignition, from what I can find the TR engine should be timed static 4 deg BTDC, but then I've also been tol...

Re: 1951 Silverstone relay race

thanks for the info Bob
Andy, it was your thread that brought me back to the forum. I believe Cyril (granddad) was involved with the 4/4 club team during the 50's but so far I've not found much in his notes.

Re: +4 Supersport

well granddad always said it was the best Morgan he ever drove. Getting out of the ARP4 into the SS it felt so easy to drive!

I guess the modifications that would be needed to start racing would be prohibitive, and change the car too much but hopefully I'll be able to do the odd sprint and trial
