Ken Hill (4 wheeled Morgan vol 2) reports that in 1966, March 19 Goodwood CJL in SLR, May 30 Goodwood CJL in SLR again, June 11 Goodwood Jim Donnerly in SLR....but no appearance of CJL in 'standard' Morgan +4. Perhaps Andy and Machiel could look at CJL's racing history in '66 and flesh this out a bit as this was all that I could find other than a non appearance at Silverstone?
John, Chris Lawrence and Chris Spender were certainly active at Goodwood in 1966 in the SLR, I'll post details of what I have later.
There was a project later to run a Plus 8 at Le Mans (Andy Garlick was involved with John MacDonald) but I'm not sure what year or if it got as far as an Entry...
It occurs to me that Le mans was really under Chris Lawrence's skin and he couldn't leave it alone, perhaps these Entries were speculative in the hope of repeating the 1962 success or just embarrassing people with the old 'museum car' I think that would appeal to his sense of humour !
OK, here's what I have from Goodwood, 1966 certainly looks like the SLR's heyday;
