Engine, 4-Speed manual Gearbox, Rare and Fully restored.The Morgan
Plus Four Super Sports was developed by Chris Lawrence and his
Lawrence Tune team. Lawrence had begun privately developing the
Morgan Plus 4 for racing in the late 1950s. By 1961, Lawrence was
running the factory Works team of racers in the UK and Europe,
regularly humbling significant opposition. At the time, the Morgan
Motor Company didn't have the resources to officially run or
sponsor a Works team so instead gave Chris Lawrence the support and
encouragement to enable their racing at both national and
international levels, often as Works entries. The Lawrence prepared
Morgan Plus 4 was very successful in the 1959 UK Race Season. In
1962, his competition successes came to the notice of Peter Morgan,
who offered him Morgan works support. As a result, Lawrence won his
Class in the 1962 Le Mans 24 hour race. Under the name Lawrence
Tune, he prepared engines for Morgan when specially ordered. The
Lawrence Tune Morgan Super Sports used the aluminum low-line bodies
prepared specially for Le Mans. In 1960, Morgan teamed up with
Lawrence Tune, who modified the engines of a small number of Plus
4's to be entered into various endurance events, including the Le
Mans 24. Since it was not unusual for these modified cars to secure
at least Class wins, they duly created interest amongst the sports
car fraternity to encourage Morgan to produce equivalent modified
Plus 4's for their road clientele. Hence the birth of the Plus 4
Super Sports. In February 1961, Morgan launched the Super Sports
which featured: - ? Specially modified 2138 cc, 4-cylinder Triumph
TR2 engine developing 125 bhp at 5500 rpm - ? Four speed manual
gearbox - ? Gas flowed head - ? Compression ratio of 9.0:1 - ?
Modified camshaft - ? Balanced crankshaft - ? Two twin choke Webber
42DCOE carburettors - ? Special inlet manifold - ? Four branch
exhaust system using two pipes - ? An oil cooler - ? Four wheel
disc brakesThis Morgan is a factory-built example, it has been
documented by Morgan Archivist - Martin Webb as a LHD Super Sports
with Low Line body, Bucket seats, Selectrides, Heater and
Windscreen washer. It was dispatched on July 19, 1967 to Metro
motors, Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This Super Sports has enjoyed
recent long term collector ownership since 2011 to present. Used
sparingly and maintained where and when needed, this rare and
unique Morgan is in spectacular condition throughout. A truly
unique opportunity, we are honored to be able to offer this Plus
Four Super Sports to market in ready to use condition and for
