It's rather lovely now to think about a Morgan taking a class win at Le Mans in 1962. It conjures up all sorts of splendid, carefree images of motor racing in a bygone era - nothing at all like the cutting-edge professionalism that is required in a modern pit lane. But in point of fact, the Morgan victory was thoroughly against the odds even 60 years ago.
Never one to miss a trick , Morgan has opted to celebrate its legendary triumph in familiar fashion. The just-launched, visually redolent Plus Four LM62 pays tribute to winning the 2.0-litre-class car - TOK 258 - and will be limited to just 62 examples globally, priced from £78,995. Naturally you'll be wanting it in Morgan Jet Green , but the LM62's standout feature is arguably the Heritage White hardtop - not just because it mimics the racing car's, but because it marks the first time the feature has been made available onAdditional homage is paid with a bespoke graphics pack, which includes roundels with the number '29' - as per TOK 258 - as well as an LM62 rear badge, silver-painted wire wheels, a Le Mans-style fuel filler cap and a domed rear panel.
Inside, you get the all-important numbered plaque, alongside LM62 laser-engraved black saddle-leather door pulls and headrests embroidered with the limited-edition graphic. Bespoke satin lacquer rubber mats with black vinyl edges, painted steering-wheel centre, and a Tawny wood centre-tunnel top and dashboard come fitted to the LM62 as standard, as do heated black leather Comfort Plus seats.
Steve Morris, Morgan CEO, commented:""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. With the LM62, we pay homage to this famous vehicle and incredible moment in time, 60 years on. Limited to just 62 individually numbered examples, the bespoke touches and enhanced level of standard specification make these cars an enticing proposition for customers wanting a piece of Morgan history.
