Re: John Sprinzel

Thank you Bob.

He is building a new engine for his Sprite.

Re: Moss Box Plus 4 16 inch wheels for sale

What a sad end to the story Tony.

I wonder what happened to the remains - and the log book...?

Could be the start of another project...?!

Re: Moss Box Plus 4 16 inch wheels for sale

Thanks for the introduction to Andrew, Tony.

I understand they were yours originally anyway...!

Re: supersports

More likely Simon is that Super Sports was an old Morgan nomenclature for their most sporting of models going back of course to early three wheeler days. And as such it was a Morgan description and not a reference to an out sourced supplier like Lawrence Tune. And as you say the factory obviously co...

Re: supersports

Hi Mary,

Hope you are keeping well and look forward to seeing you at some windswept ex: RAF airfield somewhere as soon as...!

Do you say that 5266 MM is a Lawrencetune car as opposed to a Super Sports because it is one of the early batch of high line cars?

Re: supersports

Hi Andy, Thanks for posting. This is the same car shown in the posting ' +4 SS for sale with Historic Cars'. It is a road going Super Sports but if anyone wants a pukka racing Plus 4 Super Sports then the ex: Hugh Braithwaite car is for sale in Germany. It is registration number 5266 MM and was orde...

Re: +4 SS for sale with Historic Cars

Gael tells me it was a typo...!

Yes it is chassis number 5122 - originally blue.

Price: 92500 euros

Contact Gael or Guillaume if interested.

But I think you will struggle if you are interested in their beloved Super Sports replica 122 GWP!

Cheers

Re: 1959 Morgan +4 Historic Race Car For Sale – SuperSports Specification

Baby Blue sold for £69,052 including commission.

There were 4 bidders all on the phone for it and bidding was enthusiastic.

It was finally down to two bidders and I think the winning bidder may have had more steam had it gone higher.

Is it anyone we know...?

Re: 1938 MORGAN 4/4 SERIES 1 ROADSTER CHASSIS NO. 551

This is the same car that sold at Matthewsons Auctions up in deepest darkest North Yorkshire last December. There was a thread about it on brakehorsepower and the general consensus of opinion was that it looked to be a very nice Series 1. It has certainly had a lot of money spent on it by the previo...
