For anyone else interested here is an article on this car model and a short story about each of the three cars. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/car/5904/Morgan-Plus-4-SLR.html 2010 Morgan +4 Me racing it: http://youtu.be/CQgT2vMLEUo 2014 M3W Brooklands To be raced

You can check the results here: http://raceresults.nu/Results/organisato...c+Festival+2017 #29 (green car) - was 6th overall, 1st in class #64 (silver car) - was 15th overall, 3rd in class Not sure what happened to #61 (red car), doesn't show up in the results. Ah I can see the problem now. As I said the live timing didn't mention the car. It seems that in the MRL 50s Sports Car race Ahlers and Bellinger were in car no 29, a Lola Mk1 Prototype. Same number, same team, different car. As for car 61, looking at the results, they seemed to qualify 8th in class but they are not in the grid. So either they failed to qualify or withdrew before grid positions were allocated. A shame. Peter

About 20 years ago Dave Bondon, a past president of MCCDC, owned one of these SLRs, which he raced and brought to club events. At the time the car was unpainted polished aluminum. I took a lot of pictures, and will post some if I can find them. 1961 +4 Four seater "Crude, but effective."
