Andy- to avoid a faux pas I will ask for the Clerk of the course or his office.
Entry list on Silverstone website- two Morgans, not driven by anyone I know.
One Plus 4 one Plus 8.
Will drive up in a Morgan, but not mine!

See you all there,


John

Also Kathy Sherry incognito in her BMW

incognito

Is that like a magneto?

This is Edward Harvey in his 1960 +4 (UUX 209 for Mark's benefit) the only Malvern representative present, and he went well despite the 'novice status.

A dreary day weather wise but brightened by meeting some friendly faces mainly in the Paddock Diner ie. The Family Lees, Richard and Henry Plant, braving the gloom were John Bevan, Simon and Kathy Sherry, and Media types Peter Olley and Chris Dicken.

Good to see them all although the Sherrys were tight lipped worrying about any conversation being reported on ' Social Media'. I did not understand the reference at all.

Looking forward to Snetterton in April.

Yes good to see you Bob, the Lees family, John Bevan and the deputy clerk of the course a certain Andy green no less and many others:lol:

Not the normal Pom it was so mild weather-wise: Always think I want to compete at this event but always leave and please I didn't but not this time so may be next year!!
Regards
Richard.

PS: Nice photo as always Bob of the lovely 50's bustle back Plus 4.

'Not the normal Pom it was so mild weather-wise:’

Golly I thought of calling in en route to Malvern dinner but there was such torrential rain in Essex (and I had a cold – ahh) that I gave it a miss

John Bevan was impressed with the GT40 with ski rack – there is a photo on ten tenths

Good to see so many friends. Was fun, even from the assembly area. Shame about the red flags; "wellington straight" bites again.

A link to some pictures from the day, if anyone is interested.

In the late 1970s I accompanied John and Mary Lindsay to Silverstone where they/she compteted in The Pom with the +8 JEK, bolted the car back together and then drove it up to Malvern for the Annual Dinner - and we made it on time

Hi Bob - and the rest of the boys...

Thanks for the picture of the Harvey Plus 4 and the update on this years Pom.

It is as Richard says a 'bustle back' Plus 4 with the slightly upright single spare wheel.

This was replaced with the sloping back we know and love to this day in October 1958 or thereabouts.

So UUX 209 is very late for a bustle back if it was first registered in 1960...

Wonder what the back story is?!

Cheers

Mark

Andy- following in Mary's footsteps (not sure what that says!) I did the same two years ago, I made it in time for the dinner, although this was the year Bob photographed me with snow in the passenger seat. I'm sure Bob will post the relevant photo.
Much enjoyed spectating this year with friends- I had to leave early to give Gill her first experience of a drive in a non-race Morgan !
Happy days......


John

PS Bob- I loved the photos!

What is usually termed the 'Hot Seat'?

It didn't feel like a hot seat without a heater!!!!!!!
