Re: Masters Historics
Yes, well done Keith & Billy, a fantastic achievement in a major race series and stopped the Voyazides/Hadfield monopoly on titles. In fact they had it all wrapped up before Jerez so a great series of wins for Keith this year (he will surely need a new trophy room what with the Morgan Challenge ...

Re: HSCC May Historic Road Sports
What a fantastic result, it must have been very exciting to watch. To prove that motor racing has the greatest highs and lows of any sport let me compare the result at Silverstone with the experience of your Morgan pilote’s at the Spa Classic this weekend. It was carnage for the three Morgan’s compe...

Goodwood 72nd Members Meeting
Not sure if anyone (apart from Leigh Sebba) is planning to come to the 72nd Members Meeting at Goodwood this weekend but if you do please stop by and say hello! I believe that RU is the only Morgan at the meeting and I am driving with Peter Horsman in the Moss Trophy on Saturday evening. Bill Wykeha...

Re: 42mm DCOE Webers
Machiel, I run 42DCOE's on RU with its 1991cc engine and to acquire these I had to send Catherine who a huge bag of cash to a secret rendezvous for the exchange before all the other interested parties from across Europe could gazump me! As Bill Wykeham says, we should start to view these and Moss bo...
Re: 2013 Spa
Mark, We were actually lucky enough to be parked next to the Devis 250 SWB a couple of years ago at Monza and of course conversation turned to either having both RU's in a collection or doing a swap. However, it was then pointed out that one was a stunningly beautiful car with a fabulous competition...
Re: 2013 Spa
Mark, Some great pictures & memories from Spa, thanks. I have one story that I know will appeal to you as I learnt of your love for the Ferrari 250 SWB when we chatted in the pits. The last picture in your article shows car number 21, the red Clive Joy SWB, and if you look carefully you will see...

Re: Where are they Now?
Of course Mary, I should have included it earlier, sorry. It's on "www.sportscardigest.com"
I knew you'd love the fact that he drove to & from the race!

Re: Where are they Now?
Sorry to move this topic across the Atlantic to the US but I found this amazing recent obituary on-line of George S. Waltman (1925 - 2013). Not a +4 racer from the late '60's I've ever heard of before but someone who truly seemed to embody the spirit of driving a Morgan! I love the fact he finished ...

Re: Masterclass at Portimao
Agreed, & didn't help that I told Catherine we'd be "virtually guaranteed" some winter sun...............
Last saw Keith & Billy disappearing in a cloud of spray down the motorway towing their trailer back to the "sunny" UK.

Masterclass at Portimao
Just returned from a very wet day in Portimao having witnessed a stunning masterclass of driving in the rain by Keith and Billy in their SLR in the GTSCC race on Sunday. At one point they ran as high as 2nd overall in the race but conditions dried just enough towards the end for them to be caught by...

Re: A World First
Bob, Thanks for your very kind comments about the Fordwater Trophy (the cheque is in the post)........ :) It was a great race for me and although I was quicker than the Ferrari 275 through Lavant up to Woodcote I just couldn't bring myself to try a do or die manoeuvre with the words of the Clerk of ...

Re: A World First
Before we all get too excited can I just point out that even the "SLR-Meister" (Keith) is likely to struggle for a podium finish against the Lotus 26R's also in the Fordwater Trophy, especially as one driven by the not too shabby Jackie Oliver and another by Martin Stretton. Still, as Simo...

Re: HSCC
Bob, Don't you think the Alfa TZ is more of a champagne sort of car than a Morgan? This Alfa also caused me heart failure a little while later when he span right in front of me on oil at Copse. Funnily enough Simon said to me and Jack at the start, wouldn't it look great for the photograpers if we w...

Re: The Season Draws to a Close
Leigh,
Please don't tempt fate as all three SLR's are out at Ledenon this weekend for the final round of the GTSCC. A prang in one of these could be jolly expensive & keep a panel-beater in work for a long time............ [-o<
