I had a very enjoyable meal with Phil Brown in a very hot Perth W.A. As the beer and wine flowed the conversation turned to Hugh Braithwaite's article in Miscellany December 2019 - "Racing Holiday 1962". Hugh was racing his +4 5266 MM at Spa but crashed it. Despite this he was classified 1...

Well spotted Simon. It does look nice.

And as Tony says it could be a bargain...

Seasons greetings to all.

Cheers,

Just saw this and thought I should share - looks in good nick but I am no expert! https://mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/auction-dates/vehicles/12781-new-entry-2000-jaguar-xkr-4 Please note that I have absolutely nothing to do with the car... so any problems, please don't come looking for me! :wink: Orig...

Must see film doing the rounds - "Ford v Ferrari" with coverage of Hollywood's version of Le Mans in 1966. One can't help but wonder how a Morgan +4 SLR would have fared?? Very strong entry by Porsche with the 916 that year taking first 4 places in the 2.0 litre class. Shame that Eric Broa...

This '66 Morgan entry has intrigued me. I think Andy and co are correct, it was more likely to have been for a Morgan SLR, fitted with a TR engine and a Lawrence Tune cross flow head. But which one? Re reading Morgan Maverick....Chris mentions that Peter Morgan and the factory saved his part finishe...

It was a much happier event for the two SLRs (see Series 1 Mogs at the Silverstone Classic). Qualifying saw Keith and Billy storm to 29th (quite apt really as racing with number 29) and 1st in class C2 and Simon and Mike Bell qualified 6th in class C2 and 59th overall. In the race, Keith and Billy c...

Not a great weekend for the Series 1 mogs. This was Leigh's report:- "Big grid and much fuss for Bentley centenary so although based in old pits the race was held and pit stops in new pit area. Practice for me ok if a bit slow (although Peter hardly any better) not convinced about the engine th...

https://live.staticflickr.com/4004/4612903470_1254a65cd4_z.jpg Great to see that Simon and Keith's SLRs will resume battle at this weekends Silverstone Classic. Simon (in the red SLR) will be partnered by Mike Bell and Keith (in the green SLR) by Billy Bellinger. There is no live stream of the race...

For those unable to attend (like me) there is no 'live stream' available but Silverstone will have some archived footage from the event here https://www.youtube.com/user/SilverstoneClassicTV I will be following the Morgans on TSL live timing and maybe the live commentary here https://www.tsl-timing....

Thanks Leigh
Heading altered for UK.readers! Even + 7 hours ahead here perhaps was a tad premature. Will have to change it back in a few hours!!

Leigh, partnered by Peter, and Simon, partnered by Richard, are competing this weekend at the Silverstone Classic in their Le Mans Series 1 Morgans.
