What is the Morgan Le Mans '62...

In 2002 the Morgan Motor Company built only 80 limited edition
Anniversary models of the classic Morgan Sports Car to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the 1962 Le Mans Class win by the Morgan Race Car registered as TOK 258.

Of the 80 cars built, 40 of these were built with a 3900cc V8 engine (+8) and 40 with the 1800 engine (4/4).

When Morgan launched the Le Mans '62 all the allocation of 80 cars were sold within 72 hours, such was the attraction of this piece of motoring nostalgia.

The cars were all 'clothed' in 'Le Mans Green' paintwork and were supplied with a distinctive Ivory coloured removable hard top to mimic the design and colour scheme of the original winning car - TOK 258.

Special personalised instruments in the wooden dashboard together with black leather upholstery and trim reflect the 'period' feel of this already 'traditional' vehicle, even the wooden Mota-Lita steering wheel bears the individual number of each car.

Large stainless steel wire wheels with 'knock-off' spinners and 'racing slick' style tyres finish the tribute to the racing heritage.

My 'mission' is to track down the remaining 79 cars and hopefully you will be able to see other Le Mans '62 in the 'Register of Le Mans '62' . It would be great to have these together at the Morgan Centenary Event in 2009.

Thank you for your interest in the Le Mans '62 from Morgan Motor Company and I look forward to meeting you at a 'Morgan Meet' some time. Please feel free to email me if you want any further information (I know a man who can help!) or to pass me information on the location of other Le Mans '62 Cars. Contact me.
