A wonderful car and a very good job! You must love her.
I like the two tone colour, not always but in this case very much. Can you tell which kind of green it is? Is it Lemans green or is it the wrong question because this designation for a Morgan green didn't even exist back then when "the" Le Mans took place in 1962?

The color is Westminster Green and as it is common and still is... French authorities running the race tried everything to stop Morgan participating (Read Morgan Maverick by Christopher Lawrence). I was a very young boy at the time and attended the race with my Dad. But who cares about that, Morgan still won the class :-)

Interesting spec and story Bob.... I was at the 24HRS in 2002 for the first time and grabbed a few pics of the Morgan entry and others on my point and shoot camera.. TOK took pride of place in the ACO tent, I was able to grab a few pics of it too... I posted the one in the link below in the galleries, if you might be interested in any of the others of TOK, I would be happy to dig them out and post them https://www.tm-img.com/image/zJRQq
