Wow, some lovely machinery there. Is the green coupe the Morgan le mans car? I've only seen that once before. Thanks for showing.

Yep
I believe around five built on Morgan chassis and one on a TR4.

This is the TR chassis car at an earlier meeting ...

It's the TOK number plate that may confuse:
The 1962 Chris Lawrence pedalled Super Sports +4 won its class at Le Mans in 1962, and is a traditional bodied Moggy. To this day it still wears its TOK 258 plate.

In '64 Morgan built 3 SLRs: +4 cars with the streamlined bodies you see here in Russ' great end of season shots.
The green one bears (similar but different!) 258 TOK plate. The other two show up at historic race meets too: one red, one bare aluminium. I have seen all 3 at Spa in recent years.

I have never seen the 4th (blue) car in the flesh though which - as Russ correctly points out - is built on a Triumph chassis, whereas the others are Morgans.

Pretty attractive cars these things IMHO...
Not a patch on the 904s they were new race car contemporaries of, needless to say

I believe there is currently an issue with the FIA papers on the Morgan chassis cars , they've all had a couple of extra down tubes added to the chassis from the scuttle as the frames keep cracking . This has been pointed out as not being period .
Not sure who by but it was definatley NOT the owner of the TR car or so he told me .
