Synopsis

In 1962, the small Morgan sports car TOK258 made history at the Le Mans 24 Hour race, defeating factory teams from leading international manufacturers to win the 2 litre GT class. Privately owned but entered and supported by the Morgan Motor Company, it was driven by Chris Lawrence and Richard Shepherd-Barron, completing 2,256 miles over the 24 hours and crossing the line on Sunday 24 June.

This anniversary edition explores the car’s concept and preparation, along with official testing at the circuit, before delivering a detailed, blow-by-blow account of the race. Anecdotes, memorabilia, material and photographs that have only recently become available add further depth to the story.
