Pathe have updated their web site and you can now see wonderful period footage from some of the greatest sporting events of the past 100 years.
In 1952, Rob Lowrie entered a flat rad +4. You can catch glimpses of the car in the news clip before its demise with piston/valve failure

Then of course, in 1962....well I don't need to say any more. Clip here

If like me you are wondering whether you really saw the Morgans, then click on "Stills" below the viewer and select Stills every 1 second. To see the '52 flat rad, it is best seen at 52 secs. TOK can be seen at 10 secs going up the hill under the Dunlop bridge.
Unfortunately, I cannot find anything from '38 or '39 but the hunt goes on!
