Re: Where are they Now?

To Andy Downes, you were asking about the +4 registered 214 CTG. I have 4 photographs from my +4 collection of this car back in the 1970's :- - the first one is at Curborough sprint on 20 July 1975, red in colour, no front bumper, soft top and bonnet scoop....car had competitive look. - Oulton Park,...

Re: Mystery Mog

Over the weekend I just happened to be reading "Morgan Sports cars, The Lawrence Tune Years 1961 - 1964". In the 1964 year section of the book, page 343 for those interested , there is a paragraph on John Maclay. I quote from the book " At Brands Hatch the car went wide at Clearways a...

WANTED LUCAS SLR 576 SPOTLIGHT

I am looking for a period Lucas SLR 576 spotlight (5.5 inches) for my 60's + 4. Does anyone have one surplus to requirements. Must be in good working condition to match restored car.

Re: Mystery Mog

I can't see anywhere that the car is confirmed as a 4/4 or +4 but I think we are talking a racing +4 ? Take a look under the bonnet and it looks very much like a TR engined car to me !!!

Re: The Pom

Hello Mark, Trust you are well and the early +4 rebuild is progressing. I was interested to see Bob Bulls' photos of the 1960 +4, UUX 209. Nice clear pictures. Yes, like you I am slightly confused by the year of the car and the reference to being a "bustle back". I have a 1956 "bustle...

Re: Bonnets and Cowl

Morning Mark,

Hope you are well.

I can see some family support is needed here.

Surely the price goes up not down.......you can see more of the road with the low line, particularly useful for you racers !!!!

All best.

Re: Morgan +4 Super Sports and +4+

Hi Simon, Ken Hill's book lists the S/S, production numbers 1 to 104, as per factory records. He also lists "Plus 4 Lawrencetune-engined cars, which, for various reasons, are not regarded by the Morgan Motor Company as true Super Sports - factory record". There are 11 cars listed in this c...

Re: Serie I register

Hello Machiel,
I am not be attending the lunch meeting this Saturday. I am not a member of the racing fraternity but do go to as many race meetings etc as I can, to spectate, when the Morgans are racing.
Hope you have an enjoyable weekend.
Best regards,
Eddie.

Re: Serie I register

Good evening Machiel, I note your suggestion about a Morgan Classic Group, particularly for cars built to 1968. I assume you mean a form of Register for specific models. There are of course Registers for "Le Mans 62", "Aero 8" and "Centenary Roadster 100" cars albeit th...

Re: 1971 Rutherford Morgan 'Modsports'

Mark,
The advert states it as a +8, but if you go to the eBay advert it says the engine is 2000cc ?? I do recall Robin Gray racing a +8, but wasn't aware David Rutherford had prepared this car, I always thought he developed the racing 4/4.
Best Regards,
Eddie Singleton.
