Guilty John, that was me.
The odd capacity was due to the Lotus twin cam engine an interesting
conversion, still be a good idea today.
Always enjoyed our Cornish jaunts be nice to look in on those venues
once more, don't think the NT would be amused though if tried the old
course.
Cheers,
Chas..

Trengwainton only a mile from where I live, used to do it on a 650cc
Triumph engined BSA 'Scrambler' with road tyres, also set up the timing
gear and swept the track the day before as a member of the organising
club. Still have the cup for FTD motorcycles for August 1973 the last
August event held.I notice a certain C.J.Smith from Worcester April
1973 with a 1588cc Morgan .John Lees 1980 1600.----- Original Message

Re: [mogtalk2] Morgan sparesHi John.Yes, Trengwainton was one of them,
used to go down on Bank Holidays,taking in both Trengwainton and
Tregrehan near St.Austell.A good pub opposite the latter, good beer and
pasties, The Brittania?A longish trip from Worcester in those days with
no M5 motorway all theway down, having to negotiate Bristol before the
bridge was built.Even longer one week end when,having blown up the
engine in HWP stillwent down but in a mini van!Not in Cornwall but in
Devon also enjoyed competing at Oddicombe,
nearTorquay.Cheers,Chas..-----Original Message-----From: John Lees

Re: [mogtalk2] MorgansparesAgree as long as on top or bottom tanks not
core as more of aproblem.In the 70s found a leak on top tank seam, c
10,00 pm, workingSaturdaymorning then off to Cornwall to compete in the
2 hill climbmeetings.No solder to hand so drained some water out of the
rad., wirebrushedthe area and filled with araldite. Allowed to cure for
a bit,themrefilled and warmed up.That "temporary" repair lasted at
least 5years inc. road, pct,sprints and hill
climbs.Chas..-----OriginalMessage-----From: Dave P
