Commenting, Christopher Lawrence, who led the winning team in 1962 and is now Chief Development Engineer at Morgan, said: "It's really wonderful to see a classic Morgan racing car live a💮gain."
"Times have certainly changed, and the Aero 8 GTN car we have builtꦫ for the DeWalt/Race Sports Salisbury 2002 Le Mans entry is a very different animal to the car🦂 I drove in 1962. But the pioneering spirit is very much alive and well at Morgan, and this Special Edition is a superb reminder of our roots."
Only 80 individually-num൲bered Le Mans '62 cars will be hand-built at the famous Malvern Link factory, 40 each in Plus 8 and 4/4 versions. One thing has certainly changed - customers will not have a long wait to get behind the wheel of a piece of history. Following recent investments in manufacturing facilities, waiting time for all Morgan models has been reduced to under 18꧅ months.
Le Mans '62 🅰features include a specially-developed hard top, unique Morgan Racing Green finish, and racing trim throughout. The 4/4 version will cost ?27,500 and the Plus 8 is priced at ?39,900.
