The Royal Air Force Museum Cosford played host to the Morgan Three Wheeler Club’s Opening Run on Sunday 4th May.
A warm spring day and the weather was bright and, more importantly, DRY. Morgans arrived from early morning and by 11:30am, Bob Derricott counted 55 before he ran out of fingers.
A grand display of Morgans old and new, from Bob’s Grand Prix, recently bought from Gernot Schwab, right up to a few five speeders including that of our Club Treasurer, John Scruton.
The museum itself was a very popular attraction too.
Many thanks to Malcolm Lamb and Bob Derricott for organising the day, John Barker for manning the Regalia Mog and for everyone else who turned out to help marshal cars and club members.

Not three wheels but two. Sam Savage demonstrates his prowess on an Ordinary bicycle. Ian Parkinson and Chas. Pilbeam don’t do quite so well.
