We are delighted to have both of our stunning limited edition Morgan LM62s here at Revolutions.
We deicded to have a Green Manual and a Red Automatic. The green is a classic and should be a manual to represent the herritage of the 1962 Lemans Winning +4 TOK 258. Whereas, the Red colour comes with a story….. A story we are particularly fond of.
The story of Red Tok 258
Morgan Plus Four LM62 Automatic in Red. Well….. ancient Morgan mythology suggests that TOK was originally painted in a burgundy colour, later to be repainted when the frontal profile was also changed by C Lawrence…. “I then upset him a little bit. I was going to run TOK 258 but wanted to replace the existing body with one from a 4/4 model which had a lower body line and reduced frontal area. Peter refused to help, saying, ‘I can’t mix up my models because it will only confuse people,’ so I surreptitiously bought parts from the sales department and assembled a body in Acton, with Charlie Williams [of famed metal-shapers Williams & Pritchard] making us a hardtop. We then painted it burgundy — TOK had always been that colour — and went off for the Le Mans test weekend.” Lawrence’s subterfuge soon became all too apparent. “The ACO wrote to Peter saying how well the car had gone but could we change the colour to British Racing Green? Naturally, I refused; it wasn’t compulsory and, besides, I couldn’t afford to have it resprayed again. Peter then told me to bring it to the factory and he would get it done.
Both cars are in stock and available for sale. More details on both cars can be found on the new stock page of the website. Links can be found below.
We are running the Red automatic as our demonstrator at the moment and we can say it is well worth a shot of. The automatic and the hard top makes this a car that could easily be used every day. We really enjoy the new cars as automatics.
