It is amazing how quickly the summer has flown by, at the time of writing, by my reckoning summer lasted one week here in the UK. One week of thirty something centigrade. I guess that is too hot for open top sports cars if you don’t have air conditioning. Never mind this month we have the Brighton Speed Trials which often enjoys some nice weather. Last time though it did rain a little – fingers crossed for this year.   While on the subject of the Trials, it does coincide with the Brighton Centre or Sex and the City

All this reminded me of when I bought my first Morgan. I was out visiting friends with the hood down when the Chernobyl disaster struck.

It was quite an exciting time at the last Bird In Hand meeting; we had a welcome visit from Philip Langton of SGT, one of our local Morgan agents. He brought with him their Morgan three wheeler demonstrator for us to see. It looked so right in the car park and Philip was able to sneak it in near the entrance in pride of place. It was quite a cold night and it was at the beginning of the April that turned out to be one of, if not the wettest on record. However, this did not stop many of

I do hope it is not too late to sponsor you Frank. On our website you can find a link where you can give Frank your support, By the time you read this we hope Frank will have completed 4650 miles around Britain’s Coastal roads in his Morgan Roadster 100, with all monies going to support ‘Help for Heroes.’ Apparently, Frank was listening to the car radio one day, when he heard someone say that if you drive across North London to the coast and then turn left and keep going you would eventually arrive back at London on the

I must say the time has flown and for the most part I have enjoyed my time in the Centre immensely.
