All the best for 2022.

Re: Moss Box Plus 4 16 inch wheels for sale

Hi Tony, Happy Ending! I have tracked down your and Andrews old Plus 4 and yesterday managed to buy it back. It has taken me 8 months to do it but I collected it yesterday from the salvage company.

Re: morgans at Goodwood

You are right Bob - there were no Morgans racing at the Goodwood Revival this year - but several Morgan racers driving other cars!

However we expect there to be at least one Morgan Plus 4 racing at the Members Meeting in October...

Re: 1939 series 1 /Silverstone Auction

Both Series I Morgans sold at the Silverstone Classic sale last weekend. They were both immaculate cars and the green car sold for £27,000. The blue Series 1 with the 1098 cc Coventry Climax engine sold (as I suspected it might) for more money. It was a shade under £31,000. Both prices including Sil...

Re: Mille Miglia - has a Morgan ever entered or competed?

Hi Alan,

You are almost correct...

It was Peter's dad who wouldn't let him go!

It's great fun trawling through the list of eligible cars and like John finding one that is left field and affordable!

Aunty Rover anyone...?!!!

Cheers
