Hi Guys Sorry for the slow reply! A bit of history on the car... Built in 1929 for Clive Lones. 37 World Records. First light car to lap the outer circuit of Brooklands at over 100mph. Achieved a top speed of 116mph at Brooklands. Resides in the Brooklands Museum. A nice article on the car in the Telegraph here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/2747187/Little-and-large.htmlAnd some basic history, and period photos, here: http://morgan3w.de/photos/album4.htmThe family own another Morgan - a 1922 Grand Prix, which will be for sale soon, but no four wheelers. Yet! Other include lots of old bikes, some interesting and historic racing ones. Oh and a TR7! Gerry - I'm over in Welwyn Garden City.
Owners of the Lones' car. ![[Linked Image]](http://maximum-acceleration.org/images/1929-morgan-jap-aero.jpg)

It looks a brute, mean and fast, not use to coming second. Truely a piece of Morgan history.
