British sports car maker Morgan is continuing to celebrate its motorsport history with a new special edition.
A limited-run version of the Plus Four, the LM62, commemorates Morgan’s class win at Le Mans six decades ago.
Numerous special parts are fitted to the Plus Four LM62. Production will be limited to 62 cars, priced from £78,995.
Spirit of 1962
The LM62 pays tribute to the Morgan Plus 4 SuperSports – known by its registration: ‘TOK 258’ – that took victory in the 2.0-litre class at Le Mans in 1962.
Both colour options for the LM62 have been directly influenced by Morgan racers from the 1960s. The successful TOK 258 was painted dark green, whereas many Morgan racers were finished in red at the time.
Morgan Jet Green or Morgan Tertre Rouge paint finishes will both be combined with a Heritage White hard-top. It marks the first time Morgan has built a Plus Four with a hard-top as standard.
An LM62 graphics pack includes racing roundels, along with an LM62 rear badge, silver-painted wire wheels, a Le Mans-style fuel filler cap and a domed rear panel.
Numbered inside and out
Inside, the LM62 gains a numbered plaque, displaying which of the 62 cars it is.
Laser-engraved leather door pulls and headrests embroidered with the specially designed LM62 graphic are also fitted. Completing the interior are heated black leather seats and a tawny wood dashboard.
Potential buyers can place their orders for the Plus Four LM62 now. It will be offered in both right- and left-hand drive, with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine remains unchanged.
Morgan motorsport history
The LM62 is the latest Morgan to take inspiration from the world of motorsport. The radical Plus Four CX-T was announced during 2021, paying homage to off-road rally vehicles.
Last year also saw Morgan release its most powerful road car ever. The V8-powered Plus 8 GTR was directly inspired by Morgan’s GT racing efforts during the 1990s.
Steve Morris, chairman and CEO of Morgan Motor Company, said: “The 1962 Le Mans class-winning Morgan Plus 4 holds a special place in the hearts of Morgan enthusiasts, employees and owners around the world.
“It marked one of Morgan’s greatest motorsport achievements, the car covering more than 2,200 miles at an average running speed of almost 94mph, and triumphing – like David vs. Goliath – over our bigger and better-funded rivals of the time.”
