Hi Jim. Thanks for the help, I will call and ask. I think the Girling Type 16 callipers may be a common fitment to some other car makes and models, but I am begining to think those fitted to a Morgan may differ to other type 16 callipers. The calliper carriers are peculiar to a Morgan and are likel...

Help Please . . . . . . 1960’s Plus 8 etc. Brake Callipers and Calliper Carriers I am seeking a pair of original type fitment Girling Type 16 callipers and calliper carriers. I have a pair of Wilwood 4 pot lightweight alloy callipers and calliper carriers modified to suit. As removed from a success...

Hi Jon. Nice to hear you had a good day out in a very exclusive car. Considering this is a Morgan forum, I thought it may be of interest to readers to outline the history of these special lightweight Jaguar cars. Jaguars found their E Type model to be outclassed by the competition in the early part...

Here is some content from the most recent "Equipe"GTS newsletter. ( and just to quickly explain, cars in this class under 900kg must use Dunlop Historic tyres and those cars over 900kg may use Avon ZZs ) Further comments would be appreciated. Cheers, Jim. Class 5 Regulations Thank you to ...

Hi Mark. Not helped by three other interesting race meetings all happening over that same weekend, we have a healthy looking 30 plus car grid at Le Mans, but yes - there is space for a few more late entries. You may have already heard, long time MG enthusiast and racer Colin Pearcy has recently acq...

The Le Mans Story – July 4th-5th Really good to catch up with most racers of earlier Morgans at Brands Hatch last weekend. I was scrutineering at the meeting and had the opportunity to watch the Tucker Trophy race - a great spectacle to see and really dissapointed to not have had my own Plus4 ready...

. The Le Mans Story – July 4th-5th Entry forms are now available for our visit to Le Mans, the highlight of the Equipe”GTS 2009 race season with qualifying and two thirty minute races on the Le Mans 4.2km Bugatti circuit. We have a provisional timetable from the meeting’s organisers. Signing–on and...

Hi Mark. Obviously a bit too early yet for a time-table - and of course - we are dealing with the "French" here !!!! But I am sure they will have a nice lunch somewhere nearer the time to discuss it and then they will let us know - sooner or later Last time we did this meeting we had sign...

As promised . . . . . . and at last - here we have a provisional "Equipe"GTS calendar for the 2009 season. Please remember - this is a provisional calendar - All dates and venues are to be confirmed. Apr 4th - Donington - 1 x 30 Minute Apr 18-19th - Anglesey - 2 x 30 Minute May 16-17th - ...

I have just received confirmation from Christophe, the date of the Le Mans Story weekend will be over the weekend 4th - 5th July 2009. At this event we will most likely have a 30 minute qualifying session and then two 25 minute plus one lap races ( that is how they do it at Le Mans). It will be pos...

Hi Richard and Mark. The ACO initially came up with July 4th-5th but I understand they are now reconsidering as this date clashes with the Goodwood Festival of Speed. As and when they confirm this or any other date I will let you know. It would be really good to encourage as many Morgans to this ev...

As our race season draws to a close, we can reflect back and consider 2008 to be another very successful year for “Equipe”GTS and was a credit to all those concerned. Christophe and I consider we have moved up a gear and to be invited to the VSCC’s premier event of the year at Donington SeeRed and ...

It was really good to see Mark and John's Plus 4s at Donington for the first round of the "Equipe"GTS calendar. Both Christophe and I appreciate your kind words and comments and we look forward to seeing some more Morgans on "Equipe"GTS grids at futures rounds. Yes, could not ag...

At last it would appear the European circuits have confirmed their dates for this year and we were saddened to hear that our freinds at the ADAC had lost their provisional Spa Francorchamps race meeting which was planned for early August. We did however accept their very kind offer of two 30 minute...

2008 Provisional Calendar Typically, it is too early in the year to publish a provisional calendar, however we appreciate many people are thinking of booking holidays, weddings and some are busy planning additions to their families and so we thought it would at least help to give some idea of next ...
