A previous Morgan Challenge Championship winner superbly prepared for race, sprint or hill climb.
A well known Morgan and past Morgan Challenge Series winner that is sufficiently versatile that it can and has been used for local trips out for Afternoon Tea or as a serious contender on the race circuit. It has been fastidiously maintained to the very highest of standards by Morgan specialists including, in 2022, a full engine refresh by John Eales, a full axle rebuild including a new limited-slip differential and new dampers all round. More recently the braking system has been fully overhauled as required.
The impressive specification includes the Rover V8 engine producing 260bhp, a Tremec 5-speed gearbox, four-wheel disc brakes, vented at the front and 7" alloy wheels with 225 section Yokohama tyres. The complete package has a kerb weight of just 825kg and offers an exhilarating and competitive ride and, as has been previously noted, in the right hands, a race winner. Eligible for Class 2 of the Morgan Challenge and potentially eligible for other series such as CSCC Future Classics or even sprint or hill climb events. Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to see the potential on offer.
