The car was restored by the well respected Hall & Fowler between 1991 and
1993 before being sold to a German collector. Please can you let me know if you have any information on the car or if you
are interested in receiving a full history of the car when I have it all in
place? I enclose a photo of the car in its current state and a photo copy of the
car as run in 1970. I am currently restoring the car to its original look and livery (White with
Green stripes) do you have any a colour photos ? I intend to have the car ready for the "2001 Force Historic F5000
championship". The car will be driven by myself, but in the main by Morgan
+8 champion Matthew Wurr.
