Dear Friends, I am currently working on an article to be published in the MOG Magazine on the origins of the Morgan Challenge, which is intended to be spread over the June and July editions. I would like to include as many personal stories as possible, from as many people as possible to ensure an ac...

Bobby, I have just visited the Historic section of the Ten tenths web site and cannot see your contributions, which topics are you posting in? There is a lot to check.. I will rush out and buy MOG - maybe I won't... Luckily I receive mine in the post. If you write something for the Challenge web si...

Alan, F1 MotoGP, Formula E are all going 'virtual', why not organise an on-line series ……………….

Oh! Of course all the kids would win and the elderly look silly …… not a good idea.

I suspect that the Corona Virus is more scared of Peter R than he is of he virus itself. Being confined to barracks is not too different to my normal life, as a retired gentleman, I have little reason to gad about under normal circumstances, let alone during an official lockdown. Writing for MOG giv...

Phillip, you do a very good impression of a racing driver, but can you Rock 'n 'Roll like these fellow wanabees?

I find it quite surprising what some of the drivers have been up to, since the Challenge was banned. I found this on the internet, can't imagine where it came from. :lol: https://www.jibjab.com/view/make/chicken_dance_easter/019fa8ea-7b9b-4eaa-8113-1bdffcb3db83?utm_campaign=2020_04_03_Chicken_Dance_...

You see many years ago I invested a sum of money in a hair cutting class for my lovely wife, Judith, this has paid handsome dividends over the years, and now, of course, still finds some small use on an annual basis. The foregoing may explain my appearance at certain events and functions.

Franz,
I found these in my collection, not much help with the FIA, but are part of the car's history.

In view of the current situation it might be wise to keep on the right side (metaphorically) of our beloved Phill. I for one always thought him a jolly good fella, and a very fine driver.

Are you aware of the FIA historic database?

There is this limited info about the homologated Morgan.

Two photos found on Google, the second is listed as 1970 Morgan V8 FIA, and credits Richard Thorne racing. I presume that the engine must belong to Bruce's car if it was the only FIA registered Morgan.

Hope it helps

Motor Sport magazine may well be able to help, also Sutton Images. or Geoff Bloxham, would probably have been at those events. They are professional photographers, and would of course charge. If you need help contacting them let me know. Bob https://jeffbloxham.com/ https://nps.nikonimaging.com/memb...
