Boxing Day Brands Hatch (December 26th)

The opening event of the day for G.T. cars gave another victory to Graham Warner's Lotus Elite from Chris Lawrence's more accelerative Morgan Plus 4 which held the lead for a couple of laps. Cohn Hextall moved up into third place in his Thunderbolt while Pat Moss in her first real motor race (although some rallies appear to be thinly disguised races) kept the Sprinzel-Sprite in eighth place. The...

When they were new

Morgan 4/4An original road test taken from the Motor Sport archives, May 1963 | By Michael Tee the other cars in this series of sub-£700 sports car road tests are in the 1100cc category, but the Morgan 4/4 is available with the 1340cc or 1500cc Ford Classic engines, giving it the best performance and the worst fuel consumption, a fact of motoring life that seems inescapable. The 1340cc Morgan 4/...

Hill Climb

James Thomson made up for his disappointment at Wiscombe Park by making fastest time of the day at the second round of the RAC Hill Climb Championship at Loton Pak on Easter Monday. The day was cold, rather windy but dry, and it was the same trio as at Wiscombe setting the fastest times in the top ten run off, albeit in a reversed order. Chris Cramer again failed to qualify, by just one hundredth...

Deep Sanderson History

Sir, I recently acquired a Deep Sanderson 301, chassis number DS 301GT 1006, which is undergoing a complete rebuild. As the car has never been registered, it has not been possible to establish any history at all. Chris Lawrence could not remember whether it had been used for racing in its career; but it certainly has been run, and because of its lack of registration, presumably on circuits. The...

THE GOODWOOD SEASON OPENS

THE GOODWOOD SEASON OPENS THE. B.A.R.C. opened the Goodwood season with a SportsCar Meeting on March 24th which was extremely well attended in spite of bitterly cold weather. The new track surface was given a thorough try-out but the new stand at St. Mary's had not been erected.

Chris Lawrence

Sir, As I was reading Mr. Mallock's "aggressive but not warlike" article, I suddenly found myself gripping the chair with indignation over his remarks about the August 26th meeting at Oulton Park. So before I said, "- - - - - to Mallock," I decided to write and relate another "now it can be told" story. The winner of that race (6.8 sec. ahead of Matlock) was Christopher Lawrence, in an equally...

Track test -- Morgan Plus 8

A Breeding Improvement 80 years is a long time and yet the chances are that at most weekends of the year you will find at least one example flying the flag somewhere in the country. It may be hillclimbing or trials testing but the chances are that it will be doing what it is best at, and that is track racing. It has not always been like that of course. In the early years the 3-wheeler Morgans...
