It is a great looking car, a proper modsports Plus 8, and it went pretty well too.
Pure brute force and none of this wind tunnel stuff!

Indeed the spoiler seems very similar to my 2008 development version

See the thread on Historic Modsports Morgans Mark, it is very interesting.

We would be very happy to hold the British Grand Prix here at our nice new F1 approved circuit in the Algarve. It is not flat or boring but has lots of blind brows, double apex corners and ups and downs like a rollercoaster ride. It also has a grandstand from which you can see 75% of the track.

And as there are more Brits in the Algarve than Portuguese it can still be called the British Grand Prix!!!!! :lol:

Looks great. I love their 'put your mother on the track' promotion. Now if only Donington had thought of that... :-)

I agree with Phil,having seen the circuit in Feb it looks really good

Maybe a round of the Morgan Challenge for Oct 2010,we could ship the cars together via a transport company and then fly to Faro with easyjet

That is not such a daft idea as it may first sound. In October this year we have the Algarve Historic Festival and no doubt in future years too. This years event features the Masters Series and they have tarvel for vehicles organised. Maybe some of the older 4 cylinder cars are coming anyway?

I would be gald to offer any assistance at my end.
