SALOPIAN ASCENTS – Thursday 10th September UPDATE – See event below. Unfortunately, two of the four Morgan entrants for the Salopian Hillclimb Ascents I mentioned in a previous message have had to pull out so the organisers are keen to recruit other Morganists to take their places. I understand Morgan quadrupeds as […]
Its here again, that time in the month when enthusiasm is re-kindled again so download it now. Usually I go on a bit about all the wonderful content – and this month is full of that – but the only thing I would say is in relation to Chris Booth’s article on the Beart Special, […]

Here’s the story so far. “I have been the owner and keen enthusiast of vintage motorcycles for many years but have […]

Mogmatch Update Since its initiation, Mogmatch has helped to find temporary or permanent new homes for several Morgans. Pleasingly, the majority have gone to younger members, thus helping to secure the future of the Club. Some were restoration projects and all the sales have been at very affordable prices. I’m pleased that members are continuing […]

Quite a few Morgan Three-Wheeler members were planning on attending the sixth bi-annual All Morgans Day this summer. The event, in support of veterans suffering with mental health problems, had to be cancelled this year, for obvious reasons, but you can still take part virtually by uploading pictures of your morgan to their website. Just click on the […]
Club Members Alan and Pat Braithwaite took on the challenge of driving 3500 miles across India (the wide bit!) and back, to raise funds for an Indian NGO: Goonj. They made it in their 5 Speeder TRlO MMC and got back to the UK in mid-March; just in time to join in the lockdown! We’ve […]

This quiz is intended to plumb the depths of your abstruse motoring knowledge. I constructed much of it from memory as a means of relieving the tedium of a series of long motorway journeys (which may show something of the sort of mind I have). I don’t expect many people to score very highly and […]
As everyone knows, the competition scene is closed for the time being. We’ve received news from our Competition Secretary, Tony Pearson of the latest information from the ACU. Although there may be a limited return to motor sport, no spectators will be allowed at circuits or venues for the foreseeable future. Remember too that our […]
As I’m sure most of you are aware sadly Sir Stirling Moss recently passed away. Whilst looking in one of the old bulletins, I came across this article about his involvement with a Morgan three-wheeler at the beginning of his driving career and thought It might make some interesting reading.

A super photo from Graham and Kathy Slater. Sent to us by the Bulletin Editor. “Raising a glass to the fallen and veterans on the 75th Anniversary of VE day.”
From Dave Anscombe: I regret to inform you of the sad news that Andy Perry-Keene has died. Having had his first Mog at 16, he was a long-time stalwart of the MTWC and, in latter years, the Stourbridge Pre-War Car Club. His family have asked if it would be possible for Morgan three-wheeler/s to lead […]
I have discovered that my suggestion for a Morgan simulator wasn’t a new idea. The attached was published in the Bulletin in 1968. With the possible addition of a modern video screen, this could provide an even more realistic experience. A possible project during lockdown? Best wishes, Dave Anscombe
This meeting was a first on this scale. 21 people asked and were invited to participate in the meet on Zoom. Only one failed to get in to the meeting ( by losing the invite) All the regular Albert Ball attendees were there which was good and it was decided to allow a few others […]

Phil Bleazey, a well-known 5 Speeder owner and developer/supplier of upgrades, specifically for the 5 speeder Morgans, has recently created his own YouTube channel of how-to videos.

Today was supposed to be our club Opening Run but, as with this year’s Grand National, I guess we will have to make do with a virtual event. I guess we could all jack up our cars, put a TV on the bonnet with a suitable video playing and pretend to drive out in the […]
Not sure what to do now we are confined to barracks – your bulletin needs you. Time to get creative! From your Editor, Julian Vincent: It’s clear that the […]
