I have just been looking at pictures of some of the cars (and bikes) due to be at Vintage Revival Montlhéry in May. You can see these at:

The vehicles expected this year are in the folders VRM 2019 - and the earlier years as dated. But look at ‘Parc Exposition 2019’ - does anyone know about the Morgan-Scott Special Brooklands 1936? It’s a new one for me - and knowing the noise a Scott can generate what will come from a car with two Scott engines!

This beauty appeared on a Morgan FB page last week I posted it on the Cars mostly thread could be the one. I'll bet it's a monster to drive

Yes, that's it - and another has given some more information about it. It was built at the request of the Managing Director of Frazer Nash. It was reported that it reached 70mph in second (of three) gears. But the engine was later changed for a Ford 8 unit. It has recently been restired to the original condition. But as it is shown as 'Parc Exposition' I assume it will just be a static exhibit - a great shame as I would love to hear it. (at the Montlhéry event in 2013 or 2015 there was a 1938 supercharged DKW- renowned for its sound)

That one will be my first stop when I get to Montlhery. Perhaps if we all spoke to the owner nicely he might be persuaded to fire her up?
Only 50 bhp, though, but that is about the same as that marvellous double V Twin Hornet that whizzed around at last year's Revival.

Not the only Morgan with a Scott engine. The test bed for the Scott in line three engine was a 1936 4/4 according to Jeff Clew's book on Scotts
I had a 1929 Long Stroke Flyer and a 1936 Flying Squirrel, nice enough bikes but couldn't really warm to them.
