A couple of good reads

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.

The Morgan 5-speeder liaison officer for the club, Ian Brett, was recently interviewed and had a photo session for an article in Classics Monthly magazine; a copy of the article, ‘Reinventing the Past’, has now been uploaded to the 5-speeder page on the website. Talking about his time with the car, and many of the upgrades he has had to carry out, it makes for a very good read, I would thoroughly  recommend it.

Andy Perry-Keene

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 the cortege at his funeral on Monday, 11th May.

They understand that this may be difficult with the current restrictions on non-essential travel but, in case there is some relaxation at the weekend, details are:-

Leaving his home at 55, Berrington Court, Felix Baxter Drive, Kidderminster DY11 7FH (just off the Stourport Road from Kidderminster) for a ¼ mile drive to the Wyre Forest Crematorium, Minster Road, Stourport on Severn DY13 8DE for a ceremony at 4:30 p.m.

Andy’s daughter Estelle Perry-Keene can be contacted on  [email protected] and would appreciate it if anyone can respond (unfortunately, my long-suffering F-type is currently hors de combat for some much-overdue TLC).

Another of our long-standing supporters is no longer with us, although many of us saw Andy at Bridgnorth for the Opening Run last year.

From the website:

Andy was well known to a lot of our older members and many will remember him competing in his Morgan. There’s a video of Andy racing at Oulton Park way back in 1965; the first VSCC race meeting that the club was invited to. Click here or on the image to see the post and then scroll down to the video.

Unfortunately, current COVID-19 restrictions mean that we probably won’t be able to bid Andy farewell but should things change, here are maps referred to in Dave’s note:
