As with all Morgan 4/4 Le Mans TT’s they were re- bodied on a standard Morgan 4/4 chassis, including the first one that was built in 1938. Ron’s car was re-bodied in 2004 with new old stock (NOS) parts from 1962. The engine has been “technically tuned” for racing. The original Ford 1600 engine was replaced in 2003 with a “TTed” 1,760cc Ford Kent Crossflow engine with a Kent 244 Fast Road Duration Cam, and Weber Alpha Sports Injection. At that time a 5-Ford gearbox was also installed having British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC) Clubman’s close ratio specs. Only 3 Morgan 4/4 Le Mans TT’s, were built prior to WWII, and four to 7 afterward. Less than 10 are still known to exist today.
