New owner of a first Morgan which is Connaught Green. Please enlighten the American to what a Connaught is. I've seen it referred to as a district in Ireland, a hotel name, and a couple of other things. Non which seem to relate to a paint color.
TIA
Tom

Connaught was a British racing car manufacturer of the late '40s and early '50s, with entries in several classes including Formula 1.

A few years ago there were plans for Connaught to open a build unit on the outskirts of our town to build a road car, I think along hybrid/EV but not sure. It didn’t eventually progress. If you go to Silverstone Classic event you will probably see some race cars there. I’ve got a couple of photos in the archives.

Probably named after the colour of the grass in Connaught Ireland.
I always assumed that it was related to the coat of arms of the O'Conor dynasty.

My woman’s grandfather used to race one in the day You can’t just drop that in and leave it there Viper a picture and story would be most welcome if you can lever something out of her, not many people were in a position to race back in those days.
