Re: Special Bodied 1953 +4 VNO 600
Now tell me that this isn't the car that VNO 600 is based on ! It's a 1950 Ferrari 195 Inter, coachwork by Touring of Milan (specialists in Superleggera, they invented it in 1936) they made just 3 in this style, and by 1950 Ferrari had only made 100 or so cars, total. The car is for sale at the top ...

Re: 1969 Plus 8 356AK92
Mary, you will know this early +8 is now significant, not just because it was an early Moss box car in competition – but it was being used in Internationally designated events. Without knowing it Savoye and company laid the foundations which allowed the Moss box cars to qualify for their FIA HTP (Hi...

Re: Special Bodied 1953 +4 VNO 600
Thanks Mark, this +4 is just not well enough known ! There is a surprise in the tale too -'Vino' as VNO 600 is known has a twin sister - based on a Jowett Jupiter chassis ! The Jowett was started soon after Clarkson's Morgan, but the build stalled and it was not completed until 1957. I'm hoping to p...

Re: Special Bodied 1953 +4 VNO 600
Here are some shots of the 'refresh'. Note the 'Superleggera' lightweight body construction - aluminium over a minimal light tubular frame, not much structural here ! Interestingly the SLR bodies employ a similar method. Original construction by Charlie Robinson and later assisted by Maurice Gomm. S...

Special Bodied 1953 +4 VNO 600
I thought I would share some photos of a very rare (and rarely seen) Morgan 1953 +4. It is Roy Clarkson's +4 Rally Car that ran successfully in the Monte Carlo, Dutch Tulip and Daily Express (2nd overall) Rallies in 1953. In 1954 it was 1st in class in the 3-Day Highland Rally, and 1st in the Tourin...

Thanks for the suggestions Bob, the SLR article sounds very interesting - I presume it's in the German language ?
