Below are two screenshots taken from the EC type approval Certificate for the Morgan 3.7 V6 Roadster provided by the UK Vehicle Certification Agency. This is an updated version dated December 2017 adding changes for the 5 link rear suspension that was adopted in April 2018.

Each quote the top speed as 240 km/h. Tyre speed categories of H and V are mentioned as well dependant on rim choice. This leaves me wondering if your TÜV agency are using the correct documentation. Happy to send you full version pdf of this approval if you PM me with your email address.
