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
