1919 Morgan TT Grand Prix


HFS Morgan decided to participate in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) event racing the in the Cyclecar category. The special MAG engine is air cooled with eight valves and a displacement of 1,078cc. it had a two speed gearbox as was appropriate for Morgan at the time. The GP designation was due to a longer chassis and a very low center of gravity. The brakes were improved by fitting a larger brake drum. The racer would have performed well but the event was canceled due to the outbreak of WWI. The car reappeared in 1919 for the Stile Kop hill climb. He won his category "cars with passengers" by crossing the finish line at more than 88 km/h.
