MORGAN PLUS FOUR L M 6 2 C E L E B R AT E S SIX D ECAD ES SIN C E MORGAN’S LE MANS WIN
JOIN THE ELECTRI C CAR RE VOLUTION
Morgan has announced the launch of the Plus Four LM62, a model which celebrates the company’s legendary class win in the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans. Based on the standard Morgan Plus Four and limited to just 62 examples, it pays tribute to the Morgan Plus 4 SuperSports – known by its registration TOK 258 – which took victory six decades ago.
The electric car revolution is underway, with fullyelectric and plug-in hybrid models accounting for almost one in five new car registrations in 2021.
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.
Having been the first car manufacturer in the UK to offer plug-in hybrid models across the range in 2019, Volvo is adding the new C40 to its fully electric lineup in March. Joining the XC40, these compact SUVs offer a range of over 200 miles and fast-charging from zero to 80% battery in under 40 minutes using a rapid charger.
Further paying homage to the victorious Morgan is an LM62 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.
To celebrate the C40 launch, Volvo Cars Poole is hosting an Electric Drive Event. This is your opportunity to experience the technology found in a pure-electric car, driving a planned local route and collecting a gift along the way.
Inside, the model is adorned with an LM62 metal plaque, displaying the car’s unique build number from its run of 62 examples.
