MORGAN has unveiled an exclusive model – the Plus Four LM62 – to celebrate the 60th anniversary of its famous class win in the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Based on the famous British sports car maker’s standard Plus Four and limited to just 62 examples, it pays tribute to the Plus 4 SuperSports – known by its registration TOK 258 – that took victory in the 2.0-litre class of the gruelling endurance race six decades ago.
The renowned TOK 258 was finished in dark green, while a particular shade of red was popular on motorsport Morgan vehicles of the time, and these two colours have inspired the hues available on the Plus Four LM62.
A Heritage White hardtop – just like the one fitted to the famous race car – comes as standard, marking the first time this item has been available for the model.
Other nods to the race car are an LM62 graphics pack, which includes roundels with the 29 competition number, an LM62 rear badge, silver-painted wire wheels, a Le Mans-style fuel filler cap and a domed rear panel.
These touches are complemented by driving spot lights, body-coloured A-pillars, a black splitter and cowl mesh, polished stoneguard, black mohair sidescreens, a sidescreen bag embroidered with the LM62 logo, and an active sports exhaust with black tailpipes.
Inside, the model is adorned with an LM62 metal plaque, displaying the car’s unique build number from its run of 62 examples, along with LM62 laser-engraved black saddle-leather door pulls and headrests embroidered with the specially designed LM62 graphic.
A Tawny wood centre-tunnel top and dashboard come fitted to the LM62 as standard, along with heated, perforated, black leather, Comfort Plus seats.
Options include a soft-top hood, a photographic build record, and an accessory pack with two-eared wheel spinners, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, headlight tape and a chrome interior rear-view mirror.
On sale now globally in left or right-hand drive, and with the choice of manual or automatic transmission, it is priced from £78,995 in the UK.
Morgan boss Steve Morris 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.
“The bespoke touches and enhanced level of standard specification make these cars an enticing proposition for customers wanting a piece of Morgan history.”
