1954 Plus 4 FIA Le Mans Classic / Goodwood Entrant
Description:
Recent Le Mans Classic and Goodwood race history. A rare opportunity to acquire one of only a handful of pre-56 Morgan FIA race cars eligible and highly competitive in Plateau 2 at Le Mans Classic and Goodwood’s Tony Gaze Trophy (8th Overall at the 2023 Members Meeting!) routinely beating more exotic machinery at a fraction of the cost! Originally acquired by Richard from Kelvin and Vanessa Lee in 2001 in highly developed hill climb trim, Tiny was returned to her correct 1954 specification of drum brakes and 2.0 Litre TR2 Engine on SU carburettors in time for the gruelling 2002 Rally of the Tests where Richard took a fiercely contested class win in the up to 2800cc class. Since 2012 she has competed four times at Le Mans, a highlight was winning an Index of Performance race outright in 2014’s Le Mans Classic amongst many other class wins, including winning Class 4 of the 2023 Fiscar series. Tiny has a well known and documented history from new competing on a rally (on trade plates!) with first owner Tiny Lewis in December 1954 to winning a Morgan Challenge race outright with previous owner Chas Windridge up to the modern historic race successes. Presented ready to race in 2024 with a fresh steel Mass engine with less than 7 hours running time and FIA HTP’s to 2032. RTCC runs more than 30 race and rally cars and would be delighted to continue to prepare, store and provide arrive and drive support in the future. Please call Richard for more details. £135,000
