Thanks to Machiel and Andy for organizing a great day. Really good to see so many Morgans at the factory, and meet up with old friends at last, and put faces to names.

Hello Machiel,
I'm not sure I'd know where to start it's seems quite a minefield but if you have the starts of a list along with John's /Ken Hill's list that might be the place to start from. Happy for you to email me.

Ian

Hi,
Interesting list Andy. Please to see mine is on there! I wonder how many are still around.

Digging through the papers from Peter Evans that came with the car it seems he had a 'full race cam MTRF' from I & J Macdonald in 1973! Machiel - if you don't mind emailing me the documents it would be appreciated, do you have my email address? I will go with the 4deg as being as safe place to s...

Thanks Jack, as far as I'm aware it is still standard Lawrence Tune Super Sports, I have nothing from an engine builder to go on! Ideally I need to get the car to someone who knows Super Sports to get it set up properly :wink: at the moment I'm just trying to get the car running reliably as it's had...

Thanks for the suggestion Phillip. & Machiel for confirming the 4 deg

Ian

Hi All, Wasn't sure which board to pick so hope it's the right one! I'm slowly working through sorting bits on my Super Sports and could do with some advise on what people are running with for ignition, from what I can find the TR engine should be timed static 4 deg BTDC, but then I've also been tol...

I took this one when it was on display at Prescot in 2011

thanks for posting the reports, it's good to be able to read about the events even if we can't get to watch them yet

Michiel,

your idea for 2022 sounds good especially as this years plans for Silverstone wont be taking place.

a picture of some Super Sports from 1962!

Andy,
yes Cyril & Joyce presented the trophy, a flat rad decanter, for best performance in a series 1.

thanks for the info Bob
Andy, it was your thread that brought me back to the forum. I believe Cyril (granddad) was involved with the 4/4 club team during the 50's but so far I've not found much in his notes.

Simon, that would all seem to fit, I only had a guess at the year from the other photos they were with. i do have some notes that tell me KKC888 is chassis 1894.

while looking for supersport info i can across these photo from the 1951 team relay race thought they may be of inteest to some on here!

well granddad always said it was the best Morgan he ever drove. Getting out of the ARP4 into the SS it felt so easy to drive!

I guess the modifications that would be needed to start racing would be prohibitive, and change the car too much but hopefully I'll be able to do the odd sprint and trial
