Yes if Bill hadn't been so involved at Malvern with Peter and Maurice the Plus 8 wouldn't have made it to the Sates where he successfully campaigned it on the track.
A truly sad loss but good to know Tcherek is settled in the same city as her Mum now and carved out a new life after nearly being born in a Morgan, so much history.
Her humour is unrelenting - she took on a refuge dog bereft of one leg so calls him Three Wheeler, another beautiful person.
From what little I know, most of which was learned from the vast knowledge of Lorne Goldman, aka Mr GoMoG, both Bill Fink and J.H.Shealy promoted Morgan in the good ol USA. and through somewhat difficult times for the MMC. Bill converting fuelling systems comply with tighter US regs and so much more, and JHSII entering and winning so many sporting events, keeping the Morgan wings way out in front... He also drove his vintage V twin three wheeler from coast to coast across the USA and wrote about it in Miscellany, as I recall it was it was quite a story, with some gun play involved...Well it is the USA after all..! (-:
JHSII liked to keep things ship shape, his garage was a picture in it`s self, and when he used to trailer his BDA (?) engined "race" Morgan, he pulled it behind his immaculate 50`s truck.... it made quite a picture, but then as best I remember photography was the medium in which he earned his coin..John had also been a military jet jockey....
I used to send Tcherek an occasional pic from European trips and others I was fortunate to enjoy with my good lady in our old +8, and Tcherek would post them up on her Morgan website. My old Mog even managed to receive the acclaim of Morgan of the Month on Tcherek`s site way back when...(-: It would seem that Tcherek, Bill and J.H.S.II were Morgan people through and through, just like a stick of rock, that has Blackpool printed all the way through it`s length... (-:
Yup these folk along with others put a great deal of effort into the spreading of Morgan`s wings across the USA.
Only remembered the name of Tcherek`s website after I posted the above.... Typical... Duh..! Think it used to be called Smogthis...?
