FIA Papers
Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:45 pm
There are a few cars planning to get FIA papers. I have set up this section to post queries.
I have seen two sets of 'period' FIA papers for Morgan +4s kindly sent on to me by Richard Plant.
Dated 10 June 1961 for Mogan +4 with Reg 49 AFK with 1991cc engine (GT Class - FIA no 37)
Dated 16 June 1962 for Morgan +4 supersports with Reg TOK 258(?) with 1991cc and 2138cc engine (GT Class - FIA no 64)
I had not seen these when I applied for my FIA papers and from memory, I sent a draft to Rick Bourne who put me right in a few areas. I assume he was referencing the 1962 papers. They are interesting reading!!!

There may well be other 'period' FIA papers for Morgan +4's around and maybe available by request from the MSA??Ps. Food for thought: XOV is the only +4, I know of, that holds FIA papers and is not required to run with a hard top on account of it holding a piece of paper saying it raced in period without one. That being the case shouldn't we be in a position to lay claim that we are doing nothing more than copying XOV? That way we would avoid the requirement to cocoon ourselves in our cars. Personally, I hate the idea of having to put a hardtop on the car.
