Re: Engine Wanted - Rover M16 2ltr 1995cc

I have now sourced a car/engine with genuine 18,000 miles, so hope to be up and running soon.

Engine Wanted - Rover M16 2ltr 1995cc

Following my retirement in Race 3 at Zandvoort last month and after further investigation (engine stripped) I am on the hunt for a new engine for my +4.

It is the multi point fuel injection engine out of the old Rover 820.

Any help / suggestions most welcome.

Re: Zandvoort GP Classic 2011

I have entered my +4 and heading over in convoy with a friend who will also be racing his MG. Can I tempt anyone else to join us?

I am also on the scrounch to borrow 2x arm restraints. Will be at Castle Combe so can collect and return either at Snetterton or at annual dinner.

Re: Pomeroy Trophy

I have entered, still the best value for 40mins race time.

Morgan still in the workshop and wont be ready, BUT have found a suitable donor car - my fathers Mark IV Cobra which should be a fun!

Re: Spa 6 Hours 2010

Plus 4 went well. Wet practice and race with lap times quicker than the majority of the 8's mainly due to the skinny Avons. Unfortunately had a 10 min pit stop to replace a split coolant hose. I had a beautifully executed 720 degree spin at pouhon. Currently at the pistenklaus at nurburgr having don...

ECU

Does anyone have a spare ECU kicking around for a 2 litre Rover M16 engine which i could borrow? Part numbers AUU1070 and AUU1064. I had them tested a few years back and they both passed, though still there is an intermittent fault with a high/erractic base idle speed. Ideally I would like to borrow...

Morgan Challenge 2010

I am thinking of running my +4 in the morgan challenge again this year though have some reservations, as typically I would be the only +4 entered resulting in a rather solitary and expensive demonstation run. Are there any other +4's that will be competing regularly in the challenge which will make ...

Re: Techniques Trophy - BDC 8th August 2009

Looking at the entry list, may car was built in 1086 - the same day the Domesday book was completed! Surely I must qualify for some handicap?

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

Re: Zandvoort race for all Morgans

Pieter Thanks for iniviting us to Zandvoort. In the four days that we were there I covered just under 900 miles, which included 3x30min free practice, 1x30min qualify and 3x30 min races - with no major problems! Thoroughly enjoyable weekend - however the interpid campers (David, Roger and I) must le...

Re: Zandvoort race for all Morgans

Does anyone have an up to date Dunlop Circuit Guide for Zandvoort which they could scan / copy for me?

Cotswold

I have an entry to Zandvoort in a few weeks time and I need to buy a new tent.

I remember reading somewhere that members of MSCC are entitled to a discount at Cotswold outdoor shop. Does anyone know if this is still the case and if so what is the promotional code?

Thanks
